# The genome sequence of the Alder Moth, Acronicta alni (Linnaeus, 1767)

## TL;DR

This paper reports the genome sequence of the Alder Moth, including detailed assemblies of its haplotypes and mitochondrial genome.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly of Acronicta alni with detailed haplotype and mitochondrial information.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly includes two haplotypes with lengths of 470.37 and 472.86 megabases.
- Haplotype 1 is mostly scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z chromosome.
- The mitochondrial genome is 15.38 kilobases in length.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a male
Acronicta alni (Alder Moth; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Noctuidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 470.37 megabases and 472.86 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (98.95%) is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z chromosome. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.38 kilobases in length.
