Purple and White Aquilegia vulgaris genome sequence and annotation V2
Here we present high-quality genome sequences and annotations of Aquilegia vulgaris (commonly known as columbine), a widespread ornamental plant renowned for its extensive flower color variation. 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.
