Chromosome-level genome assembly of Helichrysum odoratissimum, a medicinal plant from Southern Africa
Helichrysum odoratissimum is a culturally and medicinally important plant species native to Southern Africa, valued for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. We generated a high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly. DNA was extracted from leaf tissue and sequenced using ONT, with Hi-C (DNBSEQ) proximity ligation data used for chromosome-scale scaffolding.
