# The genome sequence of the Ruddy Streak moth, Tachystola acroxantha (Meyrick, 1885)

## TL;DR

This paper provides the genome sequence of the Ruddy Streak moth, including chromosomal scaffolding and gene annotations.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the first genome assembly of Tachystola acroxantha with chromosomal-level scaffolding and gene annotation.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 388.1 megabases and includes 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 15.45 kilobases long and fully assembled.
- Gene annotation identified 12,656 protein-coding genes using Ensembl.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a female
Tachystola acroxantha (the Ruddy Streak; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Oecophoridae). The genome sequence is 388.1 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z and W sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.45 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 12,656 protein coding genes.
