Genome assembly reveals extensive haplotypes and gene annotations in Fagus sylvatica, highlighting its genetic complexity.
<ns5:p> We present a genome assembly of <ns5:italic>Fagus sylvatica</ns5:italic> (Beech; Streptophyta; Magnoliopsida; Fagales; Fagaceae). The assembly consists of two haplotypes with total lengths of 484.19 megabases and 486.26 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (96.71%) is scaffolded into 12 chromosomal pseudomolecules. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial sequence has a length of 504.71 kilobases and the plastid genome assembly has a length of 158.46 kilobases. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 29 260 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. </ns5:p>
