Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Ceramica pisi (the Broom moth; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Noctuidae). The genome sequence spans 732.70 megabases. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.31 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 12,916 protein-coding genes.

Keywords: Broom moth; Ceramica pisi; Lepidoptera; chromosomal; genome sequence.
