Melissa officinalis Mock Reference of 79,075 Sequences from 256 Genotypes

Supplementary Material 4 provides a 'mock reference' of 79,075 sequences or contigs. Daniel von Maydell constructed this FASTA file from 256 Melissa officinalis genotypes using vsearch clustering, as detailed in the associated manuscript. The dataset was last updated on May 2, 2026.

Use Cases

• Constructing a reference for genetic variant calling based on the 79,075 clustered sequences.
• Analyzing population structure and genetic diversity within Melissa officinalis based on the collection of 256 genotypes.
• Benchmarking sequence clustering algorithms using the vsearch-generated mock reference.

Strengths

• The dataset contains 79,075 sequences, providing a substantial basis for genetic analysis.
• It is derived from a collection of 256 genotypes, suggesting a broad sampling of genetic diversity.
• The data is openly available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
