In this study, we generated a high-quality chromosomal-level de-novo assembly and annotation of P. lasiocarpa with a genome size of 419.54 Mb and a gene number of 39,008, which provide an important data support for the conservation and utilization of wild germplasm resources of P. lasiocarpa.Competing Interest StatementThe authors have declared no competing interest.
