The genome sequence of the Welsh wave moth, Venusia cambrica Curtis, 1839 [version 1; peer review: 1 approved, 2 approved with reservations]

Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Venusia cambrica (the Welsh Wave; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Geometridae). The genome sequence spans 470.40 megabases. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 38 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 16.44 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 17,931 protein-coding genes.
