A haplotype-resolved chromosomal-level genome from the 'King of Nanmu', an endangered tree species

Caption

By leveraging ONT ultra-long reads and Hi-C technology, the first haplotype-resolved chromosome-level genome for Phoebe zhennan was generated. Comparative analysis demonstrated considerable structural divergence between the two haplotypes, underscoring a high level of genomic structural heterozygosity. This high-quality reference genome provides a valuable foundation for future research on the genetics, evolution, and conservation of P. zhennan.
