Abstract excerpt
Artificially improving persimmon (Diospyros kaki Thunb.), one of the most important fruit trees, remains challenging owing to the lack of reference genomes. In this study, we generated an allele-aware chromosome-level genome assembly for the autohexaploid persimmon 'Xiaoguotianshi' (Chinese-PCNA type) using PacBio CCS and Hi-C technology. The final assembly contained 4.52 Gb, with a contig N50 value of 5.28 Mb...
