The Complete Genome Sequence of (Ginkgoaceae, Ginkgoales), the Maidenhair Tree.

is the only extant member of the order Ginkgoales. Fossils similar to this species extend back to the Middle Jurassic approximately 170 million years ago. Ginkgo trees are native to deciduous forests in China but are cultivated throughout North America, Europe, and Asia. We present the whole genome sequence of this species. Illumina sequencing was performed on a leaf tissue sample from a single cultivated plant. The reads were assembled using a de novo method followed by a series of references from related species for finishing. The raw and assembled data is publicly available via Genbank: Sequence Read Archive (SRR22349630) and Genome Assembly (JANKJI000000000).
