Licha 5: Chromosome-Level Genome Assembly of a Cultivated Tea Tree

A high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly for the cultivated tea cultivar Licha 5 (LC5), collected from Lishui, China. Assembled by Chuanlin Yin using PacBio HiFi long-read sequencing, Illumina short-read sequencing, and Hi-C scaffolding, this 1006.4 MB resource was last updated on May 25, 2026.

Use Cases

• Conducting genetic research on tea trees based on the chromosome-level genome assembly.
• Improving tea cultivars through genomic analysis based on the high-quality reference genome.
• Studying plant evolution using the assembled genome sequence of Camellia sinensis.

Strengths

• Assembled using multiple high-fidelity sequencing technologies (PacBio HiFi, Illumina, Hi-C).
• Provides a chromosome-level reference genome, a high-quality standard for the species.
• Dataset size is 1006.4 MB, indicating substantial genomic data.

Limitations

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