# The genome sequence of the Dark Umber moth, Philereme transversata (Hufnagel, 1767)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Dark Umber moth, including chromosomal scaffolding and gene annotation.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly and gene annotation for Philereme transversata.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 591.75 megabases long with 99.1% scaffolded into 20 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 16.07 kilobases long and was also assembled.
- Gene annotation identified 12,207 protein-coding genes using Ensembl.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a male specimen of
Philereme transversata (Dark Umber; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Geometridae). The genome sequence has a total length of 591.75 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.1%) is scaffolded into 20 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 16.07 kilobases. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 12,207 protein-coding genes.
