The genome sequence of the White-barred Knot-horn, Elegia similella (Zincken, 1818) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations]

Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Elegia similella (the White-barred Knot-horn; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Pyralidae). The genome sequence is 780.4 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 15.3 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 18,805 protein coding genes.
