The genome sequence of the dun-bar pinion, Cosmia trapezina (Linnaeus, 1758).

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Cosmia trapezina (dun-bar pinion; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Noctuidae). The genome sequence is 825 megabases in span. The majority of the assembly (99.87%) is scaffolded into 32 chromosomal pseudomolecules with the Z chromosome assembled. The complete mitochondrial genome was also assembled and is 15.4 kilobases in length.

Malaria control with genetically manipulated insect vectors.

At a recent workshop, experts discussed the benefits, risks, and research priorities associated with using genetically manipulated insects in the control of vector-borne diseases.
