Modern cultivar CC 01-1940 CC 01-1940

                   Monoploid assembly
CC 01-1940, is a Colombian modern sugarcane cultivar obtained by CENICAÑA breeding program. Modern cultivars are interspecific hybrids between S. officinarum and S. spontaneum, they all derived from a few interspecific hybridization performed by breeders in the late 18th & early 19th centuries.

This monoploid sequence assembly was performed using PacBio long reads, Illumina paired short reads, and Hi-C reads. The assembly represent a total of 900 Mb, including 500 Mb of sequence assembled in the 10 pseudo-chromosomes and 400 Mb of small unanchored scaffolds. Each pseudo-chromosome corresponds to a consensus of the distinct hom(oe)ologs. A total of 63,724 protein-coding genes models were predicted.
