Abstract
Lagerstroemia speciosa is a famous medicinal and ornamental plant of the Lagerstroemia genus, with large and gorgeous flowers and a flowering period of 3 to 5 months. L. speciosa extracts have been used for many years in folk medicine to treat diabetes. Here, we used PacBio and Hi-C sequencing technologies to obtain a high-quality whole genome map of L. speciosa at chromosome level. The assembled genome is 306.76 Mb, with a scaffold N50 of 13.03 Mb. 98.75% of contigs were anchored to 24 pseudochromosomes, and 38.58% of the contigs (118.11 Mb) were identified as repeats. 93.54% of the 29,351 protein-coding genes were annotated. In addition, 146 miRNAs, 511 tRNAs, 2,733 rRNAs and 679 snRNAs were annotated. This high-quality genome assembly provides a valuable resource for understanding the species evolution in the Lythraceae family and promoting the study of important traits of L. speciosa.
期刊介绍：
Scientific Data is an open-access journal focused on data, publishing descriptions of research datasets and articles on data sharing across natural sciences, medicine, engineering, and social sciences. Its goal is to enhance the sharing and reuse of scientific data, encourage broader data sharing, and acknowledge those who share their data.
The journal primarily publishes Data Descriptors, which offer detailed descriptions of research datasets, including data collection methods and technical analyses validating data quality. These descriptors aim to facilitate data reuse rather than testing hypotheses or presenting new interpretations, methods, or in-depth analyses.
