Abstract
AbstractMicrocos paniculata is a shrub used traditionally as folk medicine and to make herbal teas. Previous research into this species has mainly focused on its chemical composition and medicinal value. However, the lack of a reference genome limits the study of the molecular mechanisms of active compounds in this species. Here, we assembled a haplotype-resolved chromosome-level genome of M. paniculata based on PacBio HiFi and Hi-C data. The assembly contains two haploid genomes with sizes 399.43 Mb and 393.10 Mb, with contig N50 lengths of 43.44 Mb and 30.17 Mb, respectively. About 99.93% of the assembled sequences could be anchored to 18 pseudo-chromosomes. Additionally, a total of 482 Mb repeat sequences were identified, accounting for 60.76% of the genome. A total of 49,439 protein-coding genes were identified, of which 48,979 (99%) were functionally annotated. This haplotype-resolved chromosome-level assembly and annotation of M. paniculata will serve as a valuable resource for investigating the biosynthesis and genetic basis of active compounds in this species, as well as advancing evolutionary phylogenomic studies in Malvales.
