A high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly of Antiaris toxicaria

Here, we assembled two haplotypes of A. toxicaria, including a 671.73-Mb HapA subgenome containing 27,213 genes and a 666.41-Mb HapB subgenome containing 28,840 genes. Their contig N50 sizes were 90.18 and 90.29 Mb, respectively. The transposable elements represented 61.15% and 64.13% of the total assembled genome in HapA and HapB subgenome, respectively. A total of 27,213 and 28,840 genes were predicted in the two haplotypes. Hopefully, this chromosome-level genome of A. toxicaria will provide a valuable resource to enhance understanding of the biosynthesis of medicinal compounds.
