# The genome sequence of the Small Emerald, Hemistola chrysoprasaria (Esper, 1795)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Small Emerald moth, including chromosomal scaffolding and gene annotations.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly and gene annotation for Hemistola chrysoprasaria.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 438.2 megabases and includes 30 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- Gene annotation identified 17,512 protein coding genes using Ensembl.
- The mitochondrial genome is 15.63 kilobases in length.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Hemistola chrysoprasaria (the Small Emerald; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Geometridae). The genome sequence is 438.2 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 15.63 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 17,512 protein coding genes.
