A high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly of Ficus carica cultivar ‘Green Peel’ (opens in new tab)

Fig (Ficus carica L.) is an early-domesticated fruit crop of high cultural and economic value. However, high-quality genome resources for evolutionary and genetic diversity studies remain limited. Here we report a high-quality, chromosome-level genome assembly for fig cv. ‘Green Peel’ generated with Oxford Nanopore long reads and Hi-C data, and polished with Illumina reads. The final assembly is 306.83 Mb and comprises 13 pseudo-chromosomes, with a contig N50 of 5.77 Mb. Read mapping supporte...
