Abstract
Currently, different sequencing platforms are used to generate plant genomes and no workflow has been properly developed to optimize time, cost, and assembly quality. We present LeafGo, a complete de novo plant genome workflow, that starts from tissue and produces genomes with modest laboratory and bioinformatic resources in approximately 7 days and using one long-read sequencing technology. LeafGo is optimized with ten different plant species, three of which are used to generate high-quality chromosome-level assemblies without any scaffolding technologies. Finally, we report the diploid genomes of Eucalyptus rudis and E. camaldulensis and the allotetraploid genome of Arachis hypogaea.
