Eucalyptus globulus de novo genome assembly
Abstract Eucalyptus globulus Labill. (Tasmanian blue gum) is a tree species native to the temperate climate zone of south-eastern Australia. It is one of the main eucalypt species grown for pulpwood production globally with major plantation estates in southern Europe, South America, and Australia. The 603 Mb de novo genome assembly anchoring eleven chromosomes presented in this study is an additional genetic resource to previously assembled genomes within the Myrtaceae family to support research and worldwide breeding programs.
