Hevea brasiliensis cultivar:GT1 Genome sequencing and assembly. Hevea brasiliensis cultivar:GT1

The rubber tree, Hevea brasiliensis, produces natural rubber that serves as an essential industrial raw material. Here, we present a high-quality reference genome for a rubber tree cultivar GT1 using single-molecule real-time sequencing (SMRT) and Hi-C technologies to anchor the ~1.47-Gb genome assembly into 18 pseudo-chromosomes.
