# The genome sequence of the Barred Chestnut moth, Diarsia dahlii (Hübner, 1813)

## TL;DR

This paper provides the genome sequence of the Barred Chestnut moth, including its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA, along with gene annotations.

## Contribution

The study presents a high-quality genome assembly and gene annotation for Diarsia dahlii, including sex chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 683.0 megabases and includes 32 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- Gene annotation identified 13,177 protein coding genes using Ensembl.
- The mitochondrial genome is 15.36 kilobases in length.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female
Diarsia dahlii (the Barred Chestnut; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Noctuidae). The genome sequence is 683.0 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 32 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z and W sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.36 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 13,177 protein coding genes.
