High-quality chromosome-scale de novo assembly of the Paspalum notatum 'Flugge' genome.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Paspalum notatum 'Flugge' is a diploid with 20 chromosomes (2n = 20) multi-purpose subtropical herb native to South America and has a high ecological significance. It is currently widely planted in tropical and subtropical regions. Despite the gene pool of P. notatum 'Flugge' being unearthed to a large extent in the past decade, no details about the genomic information of relevant species in Paspalum have been reported. In this study, the complete genome information of P. notatum was established and annotated through sequencing and de novo assembly of its genome.

Results

The latest PacBio third-generation HiFi assembly and sequencing revealed that the genome size of P. notatum 'Flugge' is 541 M. The assembly result is the higher index among the genomes of the gram
