Apios Americana and Priceana Chromosome-Level Genome Assemblies and Annotations

Gene annotations for the legume species Apios americana and Apios priceana, generated using the BRAKER3 pipeline. The data was published by the Department of Agriculture and last updated in March 2026. Apios americana is a widespread North American plant with edible tubers, while Apios priceana is a federally listed threatened species found in the southeastern United States.

Use Cases

• Comparative genomics analysis based on the chromosome-level, haplotype-resolved genome assemblies.
• Conservation genetics research for the threatened Apios priceana species based on its genomic data.
• Identifying genes related to tuber or storage root development based on the annotation of edible plant structures.
• Phylogenetic studies of North American legumes based on the genomic sequences of two Apios species.

Strengths

• Annotations were generated using a specific, modern bioinformatics pipeline (BRAKER3).
• Genome assemblies are described as chromosome-level and haplotype-resolved.
• Covers two distinct species, including one with conservation status (Apios priceana).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The description does not specify the version or source of the raw sequencing data used for assembly.
