The Chromosome-Scale Reference Genome of Macadamia tetraphylla Provides Insights Into Fatty Acid Biosynthesis.

ABSTRACT: Macadamia is an evergreen tree belonging to the Proteaceae family. The two commercial macadamia species, Macadamia integrifolia and M. tetraphylla, are highly prized for their edible kernels. The M. integrifolia genome was recently sequenced, but the genome of M. tetraphylla has to date not been published, which limits the study of biological research and breeding in this species. This study reports a high-quality genome sequence of M. tetraphylla based on the Oxford Nanopore Technologies technology and high-throughput chromosome conformation capture techniques (Hi-C). An assembly of 750.87 Mb with 51.11 Mb N50 length was generated, close to the 740 and 758 Mb size estimates by flow cytometry and k-mer analysis, respectively. Genome annotation indicated t
