# The genome sequence of the Green-brindled Crescent, Allophyes oxyacanthae (Linnaeus, 1758)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Green-brindled Crescent moth, including its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the first genome assembly of Allophyes oxyacanthae, including chromosomal scaffolding and gene annotation.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 458 megabases long and scaffolded into 31 pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 15.3 kilobases in length.
- Ensembl annotation identified 17,301 protein-coding genes.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Allophyes oxyacanthae (the Green-brindled Crescent; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Noctuidae). The genome sequence is 458 megabases in span. The whole assembly is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the assembled Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.3 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl has identified 17,301 protein coding genes.
