  "abstract": "We present a genome assembly of Ribes nigrum (black currant; Streptophyta; Magnoliopsida; Saxifragales; Grossulariaceae). The assembly consists of two haplotypes with total lengths of 894.28 megabases and 883.57 megabases. Most of the haplotype 1 assembly (96.1%) was scaffolded into eight chromosomal pseudomolecules. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome assembly has a length of 450.22 kilobases and the plastid genome assembly has a length of 157.45 kilobases. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces reference genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland.",
