Genome Assemblies and Annotations for Three Medicinal Bupleurum Species (v1.0)

High-quality genome assemblies and functional annotations for three Bupleurum plant species used in traditional Chinese medicine. The 212.3 MB dataset, created by jianhe Wei and last updated in May 2026, provides core data for analyzing species-specific differences in the biosynthesis of saikosaponins, the active medicinal components.

Use Cases

• Analyzing species-specific differences in saikosaponin biosynthesis pathways based on comparative genomics data.
• Identifying authentic medicinal plant varieties based on genomic features mentioned in the description.
• Conducting genetic breeding studies for Bupleurum plants based on high-quality genome assemblies.
• Investigating the molecular regulatory mechanisms and evolutionary drivers of saponin production.

Strengths

• Dataset provides high-quality genome assemblies for three distinct Bupleurum species.
• Functional annotations are included, offering insights into gene function.
• Data is provided in standard bioinformatics formats (FASTA, GFF3).
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Row count and specific column-level documentation are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
