Leymus chinensis Genome sequencing and assembly. Leymus chinensis

Sheepgrass (2n = 4x = 28; Leymus chinensis), the perennial grass species of genus Lymus in the Triticeae tribe, is one of the most dominant forage grasses across the Eurasian Steppe region because of its characteristics of strong rhizome network and outstanding adaptability to diverse environments.we reported the chromosome-level high-quality genome assembly and annotation for a wild accession of sheepgrass LC6-5 with the genome size 7.84 Gb and super-contig N50 318.49 Mb, comprising 14 pseudochromosomes, 84,641 protein-coding genes.
