Genome sequence of the agarwood tree <i>Aquilaria sinensis</i> (Lour.) Spreng: the first chromosome-level draft genome in the Thymelaeceae family

Abstract

Here, we present the first chromosome-level genome assembly and gene annotation of A. sinensis. This study should contribute to valuable genetic resources for further research on the agarwood formation mechanism, genome-assisted improvement, and conservation biology of Aquilaria species.
