Abstract:
We present a genome assembly of Quercus petraea (sessile oak; Streptophyta; Magnoliopsida; Fagales; Fagaceae). The assembly consists of two haplotypes with total lengths of 823.57 megabases and 815.09 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.41%) is scaffolded into 12 chromosomal pseudomolecules. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial sequence has a length of 349.29 kilobases and the plastid genome assembly has a length of 161.18 kilobases. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 32 253 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.
