The genome sequence of Alnus cordata (Loisel. Duby, 1828) (Fagales: Betulaceae).
- 1Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK.
Abstract
We present a genome assembly of Alnus cordata (Italian Alder; Streptophyta; Magnoliopsida; Fagales; Betulaceae). The assembly consists of two haplotypes with total lengths of 468.52 megabases and 468.51 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (98.99%) is scaffolded into 14 chromosomal pseudomolecules. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial sequences have lengths of 521.58 and 155.53 kilobases and the plastid genome assembly has a length of 160.76 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.
