A chromosome-level genome assembly for the pine processionary moth Thaumetopoea pityocampa

The pine processionary moth (Thaumetopoea pityocampa) is a significant forest pest in Europe and the Mediterranean region, with expanding populations influenced by climate change. This project aims to generate a chromosome-level genome assembly for T. pityocampa, providing a high-resolution genetic resource to advance studies on its evolutionary biology, adaptation, and ecological impact.
