Abstract:
We present a genome assembly of the tetraploid Rubus caesius (dewberry; Streptophyta; Magnoliopsida; Rosales; Rosaceae). The two assemblies, designated haplotype 1 and haplotype 2, have total lengths of 628.60 megabases and 633.30 megabases. Most of the haplotype 1 assembly (97.18%) was scaffolded into 14 chromosomal pseudomolecules. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome assembly has a length of 423.35 kilobases and the plastid genome assembly has a length of 156.98 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.
