Abstract
The milky mangrove Excoecaria agallocha is a latex-secreting mangrove that are distributed in tropical and subtropical regions. While its poisonous latex is regarded as a potential source of phytochemicals for biomedical applications, the genomic resources of E.agallocha remains limited. Here, we present a chromosomal level genome of E.agallocha, assembled from the combination of PacBio long-read sequencing and Omni-C data. The resulting assembly size is 1,332.45Mb and has high contiguity and completeness with a scaffold N50 of 58.9Mb and a BUSCO score of 98.4%, with 86.08% of sequences anchored to 18 pseudomolecules. 73,740 protein-coding genes were also predicted. The milky mangrove genome provides a useful resource for further understanding the biosynthesis of phytochemical compounds in E.agallocha.
