The study uncovers the flavonoid biosynthesis gene repertoire underlying anthocyanin pigmentation in this species. Using ONT long-read sequencing data, highly continuous genome assemblies were generated for both a purple-flowering and a white-flowering A. vulgaris. This data publication contains the genome sequences with corresponding structural annotations.</dcterms:description><dcterms:subject>Medicine, Health and Life Sciences</dcterms:subject><dcterms:language>English</dcterms:language><dcterms:Cites>de Oliveira, J.
