<h4>Background</h4>The Chinese chestnut (Castanea mollissima) is widely cultivated in China for nut production. This plant also plays an important ecological role in afforestation and ecosystem services. To facilitate and expand the use of C. mollissima for breeding and its genetic improvement, we report here the whole-genome sequence of C. mollissima.<h4>Findings</h4>We produced a high-quality assembly of the C. mollissima genome using Pacific Biosciences single-molecule sequencing. The final d ...[more]
