Key Findings
- Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences sequenced the genome of a hybrid sea buckthorn variety, Fructus hippophae
- They achieved a high-quality genome assembly, covering 97.17% of the total genome sequences and validating it with a 98.80% complete BUSCO value
- The study identified 36,475 protein-coding genes and annotated 63.68% of the genome as repetitive elements, providing a comprehensive genetic resource for future research
