Chromosome-scale diploid unphased assembly of horsemint (Mentha longifolia)
A two haplotypes Hifiasm assembly of the genome of M. longifolia was generated from 105 x consensus coverage of PacBio long reads. The hifiasm assembly included 346 contigs and exhibited an N50 of 30.5 Mb. Two sets of pseudochromosomes were constructed by comparison to the previously published genome of Mentha suaveolens, resulting in 20 superscaffolds and 8 partial scaffolds, for an overall genome size of 734 Mb. Illumina RNA-Seq libraries from a mixed set of Mentha species were used to annotate the genome.
