# The genome sequence of the Scarlet Tiger moth, Callimorpha dominula (Linnaeus, 1758)

## TL;DR

This paper provides the genome sequence of the Scarlet Tiger moth, including chromosomal scaffolds and gene annotations.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the first genome assembly and annotation for the Scarlet Tiger moth, Callimorpha dominula.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 658.1 megabases and includes 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- Gene annotation identified 20,234 protein-coding genes using Ensembl.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Callimorpha dominula (the Scarlet Tiger moth; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Erebidae). The genome sequence is 658.1 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.45 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 20,234 protein coding genes.
