The genome sequence of the Bittersweet Moth, Scrobipalpa costella (Humphreys & Westwood, 1845)

Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Scrobipalpa costella (the Bittersweet Moth; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Gelechiidae). The genome sequence is 603.2 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 30 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.27 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 21,625 protein coding genes.
