# The genome sequence of the Jersey Tiger moth, Euplagia quadripunctaria (Poda, 1761)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Jersey Tiger moth, including a detailed assembly of its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality, chromosome-level genome assembly for the Jersey Tiger moth.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 668.40 megabases long, with 99.6% scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 15.48 kilobases in length and has been fully assembled.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male specimen of
Euplagia quadripunctaria (Jersey Tiger; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Erebidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 668.40 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.6%) is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.48 kilobases in length.
