Abstract excerpt
Spinifex sericeus (beach spinifex) is a perennial, dioecious grass native to the coastal ecosystem of Oceania that has an important role in dune stability. We present a near telomere-to-telomere, haplotype-resolved nuclear genome and complete organelle genomes of S. sericeus. The nuclear genome is highly repeat-rich, dominated by long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons. Comparative analysis of the two...
