The complete genome sequences of 56 Erythroxylum species

Abstract

We present the whole genome sequences of 56 wild Erythroxylum species from Africa, China, and the American tropics. Deep Illumina sequencing was performed on a single leaf of each voucher. We de novo assembled sequence reads and then identified and used conserved regions across all preassemblies join contigs in a finishing step. The raw and assembled data is publicly available via Genbank.
