# The genome sequence of the Sandy Carpet moth, Perizoma flavofasciatum (Thunberg, 1792)

## TL;DR

This paper reports the genome sequence of the Sandy Carpet moth, including a detailed assembly and gene annotation.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly and gene annotation for Perizoma flavofasciatum.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 369.30 megabases long with 99.88% scaffolded into 30 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 16.61 kilobases in length.
- Gene annotation identified 11,915 protein-coding genes.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a male specimen of
Perizoma flavofasciatum (Sandy Carpet; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Geometridae). The genome sequence has a total length of 369.30 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.88%) is scaffolded into 30 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 16.61 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 11,915 protein-coding genes.
