Chromosome-level genome assembly of Dracocephalum rupestre

Dracocephalum rupestre Hance is China's traditional herbal medicine in the family Labiatae with numerous health benefits, including anti-inflammatory, antiviral and anti-tumor activities. However, the genus Dracocephalum has no reference genome currently, which restricts the research on the breeding, cultivation and exploration of medicinal properties in D.rupestre. Thus, we present the first high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly of D.rupestre via the integration of Pacbio HiFi and Hi-C technologies.
