Abstract excerpt
Coix lacryma-jobi, a plant species closely related to Zea and Sorghum, is an important food and medicinal crop in Asia. However, no reference genome of this species has been reported, and its exact phylogeny within the Andropogoneae remains unresolved. Here, we generated a high-quality genome assembly of coix comprising ∼1.73 Gb with 44 485 predicted protein-coding genes. We found coix to be a typical diploid...
