# The genome sequence of the Marbled Brown, Drymonia dodonaea (Denis & Schiffermüller), 1775 (Lepidoptera: Notodontidae)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Marbled Brown moth, including two haplotypes and a mitochondrial genome, as part of a larger project to sequence species in Britain and Ireland.

## Contribution

The paper provides a high-quality reference genome for Drymonia dodonaea, including chromosomal pseudomolecules and mitochondrial DNA.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly includes two haplotypes with lengths of 330.51 and 331.17 megabases.
- Haplotype 1 is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome.
- The mitochondrial genome is 16.37 kilobases long and has been fully assembled.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual
Drymonia dodonaea (Marbled Brown; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Notodontidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 330.51 megabases and 331.17 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.89%) is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 16.37 kilobases. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces reference genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland.
