Genotyping and Genome Assembly of the Medicinal Plant Anoectochilus roxburghii
We present a haplotype-resolved, chromosome-scale genome assembly for A. roxburghii, generated de novo from PacBio HiFi and Hi-C data. The alternate haplotype assembly is slightly larger at 1.93 Gb, with a contig N50 of 22.17 Mb, and comprises an expanded repertoire of 26,324 protein-coding genes. These two high-quality genomes provide a crucial resource for elucidating the biosynthesis and regulation of pharmacologically active compounds in this species, as well as for investigating evolutionary history within the Orchidaceae family.
