Fig. 3: Changes in quality and availability of medicinal plant genome assemblies over time.
From: A long road ahead to reliable and complete medicinal plant genomes
a Assembly contiguity of the 487 medicinal plant species (plotted based on the release date and N50) with publicly available genome assemblies. Each dot or triangle represents a plant genome, which is colored based on the type of sequencing technology used and scaled by assembly size. The contiguity of the assemblies is significantly associated with the advent of long-read sequencing technology (Wilcoxon rank sum test, p < 0.001), alongside a marked increase in the annual number of genome assemblies. b Variation in contig N50 and BUSCO completeness across the available medicinal plant genomes. c The contig N50 and BUSCO completeness of the 26 T2T (telomere-to-telomere) assemblies.
