Chrysosplenium macrophyllum Oliv., a perennial herb native to China, is widely used in traditional medicine for its notable therapeutic properties. However, the absence of a reference genome has constrained its full potential for research and application. This study presents the first chromosome-level de novo genome assembly of C. macrophyllum, constructed by integrating long reads from Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT), short reads from BGI, and Hi-C data. The final assembly spans 2.55 Gb, with a scaffold N50 of 93.38 Mb, and 83.70% of the genome has been assigned to 22 chromosomes. The mapping rate of the BGI short reads to the genome is approximately 97.94%, and BUSCO analysis reveals that 97.94% of the predicted genes are complete. A total of 62,921 protein-coding genes were predicted, with functional annotations for 93.67% of them. This chromosome-level genome assembly represents an important resource for expanding our understanding of Chrysosplenium species and supports future genomic studies and applications.
大叶金腰子(Chrysosplenium macrophyllum Oliv.)是一种原产于中国的多年生草本植物,因其显著的治疗特性而被广泛应用于传统医学。然而,缺乏参考基因组限制了其在研究和应用方面的全部潜力。本研究展示了首个大叶金腰子的染色体水平从头基因组组装,该组装通过整合来自牛津纳米孔技术公司(ONT)的长读长、华大基因的短读长以及Hi-C数据构建而成。最终组装结果跨度为2.55Gb,支架N50为93.38Mb,并且基因组的83.70%已被分配到22条染色体上。华大基因的短读长对基因组的映射率约为97.94%,BUSCO分析表明97.94%的预测基因是完整的。总共预测了62921个蛋白质编码基因,其中93.67%具有功能注释。这种染色体水平的基因组组装是扩展我们对金腰子属物种理解的重要资源,并为未来的基因组研究和应用提供了支持。
