Chromosome-level genome assembly of wild perennial soybean Glycine canescens

Glycine canescens is one of the few perennial wild soybeans that have been successfully hybridized with cultivated soybean, demonstrating significant application value in soybean breeding. In this study, we present a chromosome-level assembly of the Glycine canescens genome, which has a total length of 933 Mb and a scaffold N50 length of 47.24 Mb. The completeness of the genome is estimated to be 92.4%, as evaluated by BUSCO analysis. We identified a total of 55,312 protein-coding genes within the genome, of which 23,790 were classified as core genes. Our research provides a valuable genomic resource for soybean breeding.
