Abstract
AbstractHippophae gyantsensis, which is a native tree species in China, is ideal for windbreak and sand-fixing forests. It is an economically and ecologically valuable tree species distributed exclusively in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in China. In our study, we assembled a chromosome-level genome of H. gyantsensis using Illumina sequencing, Nanopore sequencing and chromosome structure capture technique. The genome was 716.32 Mb in size with scaffold N50 length of 64.84 Mb. A total of 716.25 Mb genome data was anchored and orientated onto 12 chromosomes with a mounting rate of up to 99.99%. Additionally, the genome was found to comprise approximately 56.84% repeat sequences, of which long terminal repeats(LTRs) that accounted for 33.19% of the entire genome. Meanwhile, a total of 32,316 protein-coding genes were predicted, and 91.07% of these genes were functionally annotated. We also completed a series of comparative genomic analyses to provide researchers with useful reference material for future studies on seabuckthorn.
