# The genome sequence of the Dusky Thorn, Ennomos fuscantarius (Haworth, 1809)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Dusky Thorn moth, including chromosomal scaffolding and gene annotation.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly and gene annotation for Ennomos fuscantarius.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 444.9 megabases and includes 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- Gene annotation identified 12,173 protein coding genes using Ensembl.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Ennomos fuscantarius (the Dusky Thorn; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Geometridae). The genome sequence is 444.9 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.49 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 12,173 protein coding genes.
