A chromosome-scale genome assembly of mungbean (Vigna radiata).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mungbean (Vigna radiata) is one of the most socio-economically important leguminous food crops of Asia and a rich source of dietary protein and micronutrients. Understanding its genetic makeup is crucial for genetic improvement and cultivar development.

Methods

In this study, we combined single-tube long-fragment reads (stLFR) sequencing technology with high-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) technique to obtain a chromosome-level assembly of V. radiata cultivar 'KUML4'.

Results

The final assembly of the V. radiata genome was 468.08 Mb in size, with a scaffold N50 of 40.75 Mb. This assembly comprised 11 pseudomolecules, covering 96.94% of the estimated genome size. The genome contained 253.85 Mb (54.76%) of repetitive seq
