Chromosome-level assembly reveals genome structure in Xanthium, suggesting genetic links to invasiveness.
<ns3:p> The <ns3:italic>Xanthium orientale</ns3:italic> subsp. <ns3:italic>italicum</ns3:italic> (Asterales: Asteraceae: Asteroideae) reference genome offers a valuable resource for understanding the genetic basis of invasiveness and fitness differences among congeneric species. The entirety of the genome sequence was assembled into 18 contiguous chromosomal pseudomolecules. This chromosome-level assembly encompasses 2.26 Gb, composed of 46 contigs and 32 scaffolds, with contig and scaffold N50 values of 98.8 Mb and 124 Mb, respectively. </ns3:p>
