Presents a genome assembly for the Umbrella Thorn Acacia, suggesting a foundational resource for ecological studies.
We present the first high-quality genome assembly of Vachellia tortilis subsp. raddiana (Savi) Brenan, a keystone tree species of the circum-Saharan region. Plant material used for genome sequencing was collected from Taidalt, a small town near Guelmim in southern Morocco. Using Illumina paired-end sequencing, a scaffold-level genome assembly was generated, providing a foundational genomic resource for this ecologically critical taxon.
