Description

Np-X is a S. spontaneum tetraploid accession (2n=4x=40, x=10) that was collected the Himalayas (Meng et al 2019).

The assembly was performed based on PacBio CCS long reads and Illumina short reads. The assembly represent a total of 2.7 Gb assembled in 40 pseudo-chromosomes organized in 10 homologous groups comprising each 4 homologous chromosomes.

A total of 35,754 gene models were annotated with alleles defined.
