# The genome sequence of the Nut-tree Tussock moth, Colocasia coryli (Linnaeus, 1758) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Nut-tree Tussock moth, including a detailed assembly of its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The paper provides a high-quality reference genome for Colocasia coryli, including scaffolded chromosomal pseudomolecules and the mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 768.61 megabases long, with 99.73% scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 15.31 kilobases in length and has been fully assembled.
- The genome was sequenced as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project focusing on species from Britain and Ireland.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Colocasia coryli (Nut-tree Tussock; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Noctuidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 768.61 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.73%) is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 15.31 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.
