# The genome sequence of the Drinker, Euthrix potatoria (Linnaeus, 1758) (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Drinker moth, including two haplotypes and a mitochondrial genome as part of a larger biodiversity project.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly for Euthrix potatoria, including chromosomal pseudomolecules and a mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly includes two haplotypes totaling 487.86 and 466.06 megabases.
- Haplotype 1 is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome.
- The mitochondrial genome is assembled with a length of 15.43 kilobases.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female
Euthrix potatoria (Drinker; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Lasiocampidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 487.86 megabases and 466.06 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.97%) 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 15.43 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.
