A chromosome-scale assembly of Sarracenia purpurea var. burkii Genome. Sarracenia purpurea var. burkii isolate:MA-2025

Sarracenia, a genus of North American pitcher plants, is a unique carnivorous ecosystem with specialized microhabitats supporting a complex microbiome of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms. This genome assembly will enable studying the evaluation of carnivory and the intricate microbiocidal interactions within the Sarracenia ecosystem. Comparative genomic research in the order Ericales will be expanded by this genome assembly, which is the first in the family Sarraceniaceae.
