Abstract:Yam bean (Pachyrhizus erosusL.), belonging to the family Fabaceae, is an important but underutilized root crop. Here, we generated a high-quality chromosome-level reference genome of yam bean by PacBio HiFi and Hi-C sequencing, with assembly size of 539.0 Mb, contig N50 of 25.6 Mb, and BUSCO complete rate of 99.3%. Then, we anchored 94.4% of the contig sequences into 11 pseudo-chromosomes, and assembled the telomeres at 86.4% (19/22) of the chromosome-ends. A total of 44,692 protein-coding genes were predicted… Show more
