# The genome sequence of the Lunar-spotted Pinion, Cosmia pyralina (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Lunar-spotted Pinion moth, including chromosomal scaffolding and gene annotation.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly and gene annotation for Cosmia pyralina, including chromosomal pseudomolecules and the mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 803.3 megabases and includes 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- Gene annotation identified 19,901 protein coding genes using Ensembl.
- The mitochondrial genome is 15.39 kilobases in length.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Cosmia pyralina (the Lunar-spotted Pinion; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Noctuidae). The genome sequence is 803.3 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 15.39 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 19,901 protein coding genes.
