# The genome sequence of the common hop, Humulus lupulus L

## TL;DR

This paper provides the complete genome sequence of the common hop plant, including its chromosomes, mitochondria, and plastid genomes.

## Contribution

The study presents a high-quality genome assembly of Humulus lupulus, including sex chromosome scaffolding and gene annotation.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 2,488.10 megabases long with 99.39% scaffolded into 10 pseudomolecules.
- Gene annotation identified 32,487 protein-coding genes using Ensembl.
- Mitochondrial and plastid genomes were assembled with lengths of 400.02 kb and 153.77 kb, respectively.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a female
Humulus lupulus plant (Common hop, Hops; Streptophyta; Magnoliopsida; Rosales; Cannabaceae). The genome sequence has a total length of 2,488.10 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.39%) is scaffolded into 10 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. The mitochondrial and plastid genome assemblies have lengths of 400.02 kilobases and 153.77 kilobases, respectively. Gene annotation of this assembly by Ensembl identified 32,487 protein-coding genes.
