Draft genome assembly of alpine carnations Dianthus sylvestris and D. carthusianorum (Caryophyllaceae)

Draft reference sequences for the alpine carnations Dianthus sylvestris and D. carthusianorum were assembled. The assemblies are complemented with linkage maps to anchor scaffolds to chromosomes, and with a structural and functional annotation of coding sequences., , , # Draft genome assembly of alpine carnations Dianthus sylvestris and D. carthusianorum (Caryophyllaceae)

## Description of the data and file structure

1\) Fasta sequence of genome assemblies

Dianthus_sylvestris_assembly_v1.fa.gz

Dianthus_carthusian_assembly_v1.fa.gz

The assemblies were obtained from a combination of paired-end and mate-pair Illumina libraries implemented in the Allpath-LG assembler. The initial assembly was improved through nucleotide correction, gap filling and the assessment of misassemblies.  The final assembly for D. sylvestris/D. carthusianorum consists of ca. 21 K scaffolds, N50 of 61/47 Kb, contig length of 354/288 Mb, scaffold length of 444/354 Mb, covering 73/54% of the estimated genome size (ca. 600 MB) and 86/87% of Busco eukaryotic genes.
