Annona squamosa, also known as custard apple, is an emerging fruit crop with medicinal significance. We constructed a high-quality genome of A. squamosa along with transcriptome data to gain insights into its phylogeny, evolution and demographic history. The genome has an N50 value of 93.2 Mb assembled into seven pseudochromosomes. The demographic...
The invasive character of Eichhornia crassipes (water hyacinth) is a major threat to global biodiversity and ecosystems. To investigate the genomic basis of invasiveness, we performed the genome and transcriptome sequencing of E. crassipes and reported the genome of 1.11 Gbp size with 63,299 coding genes and N50 of 1.98 Mb. We confirmed a recent wh...
Tinospora cordifolia (Willd.) Hook.f. & Thomson, also known as Giloy, is among the most important medicinal plants that have numerous therapeutic applications in human health due to the production of a diverse array of secondary metabolites. To gain genomic insights into the medicinal properties of T. cordifolia, the genome sequencing was carried o...
Syzygium cumini, also known as jambolan or jamun, is an evergreen tree widely known for its medicinal properties, fruits, and ornamental value. To understand the genomic and evolutionary basis of its medicinal properties, we sequenced S. cumini genome for the first time from the world’s largest tree genus Syzygium using Oxford Nanopore and 10x Geno...
Phyllanthus emblica or Indian gooseberry, commonly known as amla, is an important medicinal horticultural plant used in traditional and modern medicines. It bears stone fruits with immense antioxidant properties due to being one of the richest natural sources of vitamin C and numerous flavonoids. This study presents the first genome sequencing of t...

Background:
Indian cattle breeds (Bos indicus) are known for their remarkable adaptability to hot and humid climates, higher nutritious quality of milk, better disease tolerance, and greater ability to perform in poor feed compared to taurine cattle (Bos taurus). Distinct phenotypic differences are observed among the B. indicus breeds; however, th...

Ficus benghalensis and Ficus religiosa are large woody trees well-known for their long lifespan, ecological and traditional significance, and medicinal properties. To understand the genomic and evolutionary aspects of these characteristics, the whole genomes of these Ficus species were sequenced using 10x Genomics linked reads and Oxford Nanopore l...
Bos indicus is a domestic cattle species with many indigenous breeds found in India and is important for dairy, draught work, and other household activities. Distinct phenotypic differences are observed among the breeds of this species; however, their whole genome sequences were not available. Therefore, in this study, we performed the whole genome...
Ficus benghalensis (Indian banyan tree) and Ficus religiosa (Peepal) trees are well-known for their long lifespan, traditional significance, and medicinal properties. Therefore, to understand the genomic and evolutionary aspect of these characteristics the whole genomes of these two Ficus species were sequenced using 10x Genomics and Oxford Nanopor...
