De novo assembly of Ensete ventricosum genome sequence

This file contains a de novo assembly of the Ensete ventricosum genome based on whole-genome shotgun sequencing by Illumina HiSeq paired reads and assembled using SOAPdenovo. This assembly has, in part, been submitted to GenBank under accession number AMZH00000000.1 (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/AMZH00000000.1/). However, because of limitations on the number of supercontigs/contigs that GenBank will accept, we did not submit supercontigs and contigs of shorter than 5 kb.

The raw data are available from the Sequence Read Archive under accession number SRX202265 (see ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sra?LinkName=nuccore_sra_wgs&from_uid=440571971). Data are described in this paper: Harrison, J.; Moore, K.A.; Paszkiewicz, K.; Jones, T.; Grant, M.R.; Ambacheew, D.; Muzemil, S.; Studholme, D.J.
