# The genome sequence of the Elm Groundling moth, Carpatolechia fugitivella (Zeller, 1839)

## TL;DR

This paper provides the genome sequence of the Elm Groundling moth, including chromosomal scaffolding and gene annotations.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the first genome assembly of Carpatolechia fugitivella, including chromosomal pseudomolecules and mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 493.1 megabases long and scaffolded into 30 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 15.26 kilobases in length.
- Gene annotation identified 12,721 protein coding genes.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Carpatolechia fugitivella (the Elm Groundling; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Gelechiidae). The genome sequence is 493.1 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 30 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.26 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 12,721 protein coding genes.
