## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Large Birch Bell moth, including its chromosomal structure and gene annotations.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly and gene annotations for Epinotia brunnichana.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 943.10 megabases long, with 99.68% scaffolded into 29 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 15.7 kilobases in length.
- Gene annotation identified 12,003 protein-coding genes.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a female
Epinotia brunnichana (Large Birch Bell, Large Birch Roller; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Tortricidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 943.10 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.68%) is scaffolded into 29 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the W and Z sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.7 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 12,003 protein-coding genes.

## Linked entities
