Abstract:
We present a genome assembly of Carex sylvatica (Wood-sedge; Streptophyta; Magnoliopsida; Poales; Cyperaceae). The genome sequence has a total length of 363.24 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.79%) is scaffolded into 29 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial sequences have lengths of 1715.64, 74.78 and 77.37 kilobases and the plastid genome assembly has a length of 215.14 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.
