# The genome sequence of the Ruby Tiger, Phragmatobia fuliginosa (Linnaeus, 1758)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Ruby Tiger moth, including its chromosomal structure and gene annotations.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly and gene annotation for Phragmatobia fuliginosa.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 629.4 megabases and includes 28 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- Gene annotation identified 13,338 protein-coding genes using Ensembl.
- The mitochondrial genome is 15.4 kilobases in length and was also assembled.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Phragmatobia fuliginosa (the Ruby Tiger; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Erebidae). The genome sequence is 629.4 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 28 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the assembled Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.4 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 13,338 protein coding genes.
