Key Points

  • The aim is to present a complete genome assembly of Pseudoscleropodium purum to enhance understanding of its genetic structure.
  • Produced a genome assembly totaling 318.26 megabases.
  • Scaffolded 99.95% of the genome into 11 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
  • Performed gene annotation yielding 16,810 protein-coding genes.
  • Identified a mitochondrial sequence of 105.0 kilobases.
  • Plastid genome assembly measured 124.66 kilobases.
  • Assembly part of the Darwin Tree of Life project for eukaryotic reference genomes.

Abstract

We present a genome assembly of Pseudoscleropodium purum (neat feather-moss; Streptophyta; Bryopsida; Hypnales; Brachytheciaceae). The genome sequence has a total length of 318.26 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.95%) is scaffolded into 11 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial sequence has a length of 105.0 kilobases and the plastid genome assembly has a length of 124.66 kilobases. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 16 810 protein-coding genes. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces reference genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland.
