Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual of Inga laurina (Streptophyta; Magnoliopsida; Fabales; Fabaceae). The genome sequence has a total length of 899.60 megabases. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 13 chromosomal pseudomolecules, supporting the individual being an autotetraploid with 2 n=4 x=52. The mitochondrial and plastid genome assemblies have lengths of 1,261.88 kilobases and 176.27 kilobases, respectively. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 33,101 protein-coding genes.

Keywords: Fabales; Inga laurina; chromosomal; genome sequence.
