The genome sequence of the Scots Primrose, Primula scotica Hook. (Ericales: Primulaceae)

We present a genome assembly of the hexaploid Primula scotica (Scots Primrose; Streptophyta; Magnoliopsida; Ericales; Primulaceae). The assembly consists of two haplotypes with total lengths of 3,144.64 megabases and 2,627.38 megabases. The haplotype 1 assembly and the haplotype 2 assembly each contain 27 chromosomal pseudomolecules; these account for 96.44% and 94.41% of their respective sequences. The mitochondrial genome assembly has a length of 361.6 kilobases and the plastid genome assembly has a length of 154.67 kilobases. 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.

Abstract

We present a genome assembly of the hexaploid Primula scotica (Scots Primrose; Streptophyta; Magnoliopsida; Ericales; Primulaceae). The assembly consists of two haplotypes with total lengths of 3,144.64 megabases and 2,627.38 megabases. The haplotype 1 assembly and the haplotype 2 assembly each contain 27 chromosomal pseudomolecules; these account for 96.44% and 94.41% of their respective sequences. The mitochondrial genome assembly has a length of 361.6 kilobases and the plastid genome assembly has a length of 154.67 kilobases. 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.
