Abstract excerpt
Mesua ferrea (Family: Calophyllaceae) is a tropical forest plant used for timber, biofuel, and traditional medicine. Colloquially, it is known as Nagkesar (Cobra saffron) and is the state flower of Tripura (India). In this study, we perform the whole-genome assembly of Mesua ferrea using ~180X coverage paired-end Illumina data. Our de novo assembly is 614 Mega-base pair (Mbp), has an N50 of 392 Kilo-base pairs...
