Abstract
: Asteraceae) is widely grown for use as a sweetener. We present the whole genome sequence and annotation of this species. A total of 146,838,888 paired-end reads consisting of 22.2G bases were obtained by sequencing one leaf from a commercially grown seedling. The reads were assembled by a de-novo method followed by alignment to related species. Annotation was performed via GenMark-ES. The raw and assembled data is publicly available via GenBank: Sequence Read Archive ( SRR6792730) and Assembly ( GCA_009936405).
