The genome sequence of Jacobaea vulgaris Gaertn., 1791 (Asterales: Asteraceae)

We present a genome assembly of Jacobaea vulgaris (Common Ragwort; Streptophyta; Magnoliopsida; Asterales; Asteraceae). The assembly consists of two haplotypes with total lengths of 2,027.85 megabases and 2,005.08 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (95.75%) is scaffolded into 20 chromosomal pseudomolecules. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial sequences have lengths of 214.29 and 64.31 kilobases and the plastid genome assembly has a length of 150.84 kilobases. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 36,155 protein-coding genes. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces reference genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland.
