# The genome sequence of the Bird-cherry Ermine moth, Yponomeuta evonymella (Linnaeus, 1758)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Bird-cherry Ermine moth, including its chromosomal structure and mitochondrial genome.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly with scaffolded chromosomes and a complete mitochondrial genome for Yponomeuta evonymella.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 572.70 megabases long and scaffolded into 32 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 16.16 kilobases in length and has been fully assembled.
- The assembly includes trivalent sex chromosomes Z1, Z2, and W.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female
Yponomeuta evonymella (the Bird-cherry Ermine; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Yponomeutidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 572.70 megabases. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 32 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the trivalent sex chromosomes Z
1, Z
2 and W. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 16.16 kilobases in length.
