Fig. 1: Genome assembly of the Chinese tallow tree (CTT).

a The line used as plant material in this study grows in Luotian County, Hubei Province, China. b–d show magnified images of fluorescence, red leaves, and seeds, respectively. e BUSCO assessment of the monoploid, diploid and tetraploid assemblies. f Plot of the Hi-C matrix for the chromosome-scale monoploid genome of the CTT. The chromosome orders for the x and y axis are the same and they are labeled in the bottom of this figure. g Genome features of the chromosome-scale monoploid genome of the CTT. Numbers 1 to 6 represent scaffolds (pseudochromosomes), gene density, repeat content, Gypsy transposon content, Copia transposon content, and GC content, respectively. Photos in this figure are originals and they were taken by the corresponding author Dr. Nian Wang.
