Water Shield (Brasenia schreberi) Telomere-to-Telomere Genome Assembly and Annotation

A 1.4 GB gap-free telomere-to-telomere reference genome assembly for the aquatic plant water shield (Brasenia schreberi). The dataset includes genomic annotation files for repeat elements, non-coding RNA, and protein-coding genes, published by zhixin wang on figshare in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Comparative genomics analysis based on the complete, gap-free genome assembly.
• Studying repeat element evolution and distribution based on the provided repeat annotation.
• Identifying and characterizing protein-coding genes based on the gene annotation files.
• Analyzing non-coding RNA elements based on the nc-RNA annotations included.

Strengths

• Provides a complete, gap-free telomere-to-telomere assembly, a high-quality standard in genomics.
• Includes multiple annotation layers (repeats, nc-RNA, protein-coding genes) in standard bioinformatics formats.
• Dataset size of 1.4 GB suggests substantial genomic content.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for certain analyses.
