Genome survey sequencing of Dracaena cambodiana

Dragon’s blood from the genus Dracaena is used as a renowned traditional medicine in various cultures worldwide. As an important original plant in tropical and subtropical areas, D. cambodiana remains poorly described at a genomic level, which impede research on the mechanism of dragon’s blood formation. This is the Dracaena cambodiana genome assembly via survey sequencing.

龙血树属（Dracaena）所产出的血竭，在全球诸多文化语境中均为广受认可的传统中药材。作为热带与亚热带区域的重要药用基原植物，柬埔寨龙血树（D. cambodiana）的基因组学研究仍较为匮乏，这阻碍了对血竭形成机制的相关探索。本数据集为通过基因组调查测序获得的柬埔寨龙血树基因组组装结果。
