The genome sequence of the Common Heath moth, Hypomecis atomaria (Linnaeus, 1758) (Lepidoptera: Geometridae)
Dominic Philips, Paulo Hofstatter, Cheng Sun

TL;DR
The paper presents the genome sequence of the Common Heath moth, including its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA, as part of a larger project to sequence species in Britain and Ireland.
Contribution
The novel contribution is the high-quality genome assembly of Hypomecis atomaria, including sex chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.
Findings
The genome assembly is 690.01 megabases long, with 99.95% scaffolded into 32 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
The mitochondrial genome is 15.6 kilobases in length and was successfully assembled.
Abstract
We present a genome assembly from an individual female Hypomecis atomaria (Common Heath; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Geometridae). The genome sequence has a total length of 690.01 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.95%) is scaffolded into 32 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the W and Z sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 15.6 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.
