Abstract:
We present a genome assembly of Sphagnum tenellum (soft bog-moss; Streptophyta; Sphagnopsida; Sphagnales; Sphagnaceae). The genome sequence has a total length of 386.16 megabases. Most of the assembly (98.04%) is scaffolded into 21 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial sequence has a length of 141.31 kilobases and the plastid genome assembly has a length of 140.16 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.
