Supplementary dataset to "Draft genome assembly of the biofuel grass crop Miscanthus sacchariflorus"

Miscanthus sacchariflorus (Maxim.) Hack. is a C4 perennial rhizomatous biofuel grass crop. M. sacchariflorus is among the most widely distributed species within the genus, particularly at cold northern latitudes, and one of the progenitor species of the main biomass commercial crop M. × giganteus. We generated a 2.54 Gbps whole-genome assembly of the diploid M. sacchariflorus “Robustus 297” genotype, which represented ~59% of the expected genome size. We later anchored this assembly in the chromosomal-scale M. sinensis genome to improve its contiguity. We annotated 86,767 and 69,049 protein-coding genes in the unanchored and anchored, respectively. We estimated our assemblies include ~85% of the M. sacchariflorus genes based on homology, core markers and RNA-seq alignments stats. Raw data and further metadata are available under Bioproject PRJNA435476.
