## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Small Fan-footed Wave moth, including a detailed assembly and gene annotation.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly and gene annotation for Idaea biselata.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 424.30 megabases long, with 97.24% scaffolded into 13 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 17.33 kilobases in length.
- Gene annotation identified 11,310 protein-coding genes.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male specimen of
Idaea biselata (Small Fan-footed Wave; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Geometridae). The genome sequence has a total length of 424.30 megabases. Most of the assembly (97.24%) is scaffolded into 13 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 17.33 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 11,310 protein-coding genes.

## Linked entities
