# The genome sequence of the Streak, Chesias legatella (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775)

## TL;DR

This paper provides the genome sequence of the Streak moth, including a detailed assembly of its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

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

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 310.3 megabases and includes 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 20.1 kilobases long and has been fully assembled.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Chesias legatella (the Streak; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Geometridae). The genome sequence is 310.3 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 20.1 kilobases in length.
