First de novo draft genome sequence of Oryza coarctata, the only halophytic species in the genus Oryza [version 2; referees: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations]

Abstract

Oryza coarctata plant, collected from Sundarban delta of West Bengal, India, has been used in the present study to generate draft genome sequences, employing the hybrid genome assembly with Illumina reads and third generation Oxford Nanopore sequencing technology. We report for the first time the draft genome with the coverage of 85.71 % and deposited the raw data in NCBI SRA, with BioProject ID PRJNA396417.
