# The genome sequence of the Twenty-plume Moth, Alucita hexadactyla Linnaeus, 1758

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Twenty-plume Moth, including a detailed assembly of its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality, chromosome-level genome assembly for the Twenty-plume Moth.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 878.53 megabases long, with 99.74% scaffolded into 30 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 15.32 kilobases in length and has been fully assembled.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a specimen of
Alucita hexadactyla (Twenty-plume Moth; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Alucitidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 878.53 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.74%) is scaffolded into 30 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.32 kilobases in length.
