Whole genome and transcriptome sequencing of Bambusa tulda

We report a contig-level genome assembly of Bambusa tulda, a commercially and ecologically valuable bamboo species native to India. The genome was sequenced in the PacBio Sequel IIe and Revio platforms, while transcriptome sequencing was done in Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform. The assembled genome size was ~1.17 Gb, comprising 43 contigs, with contig N50 value 35.69 Mb. BUSCO analysis showed ~99% completeness. This study will provide valuable genomic resources for future research.
