The chromosome-scale genome of provides insight into the evolutionary position of magnoliids.

, a representative tall aromatic tree of the Magnoliaceae family, is a medicinal plant that is widely used in diverse industries from medicine to cosmetics. We report a chromosome-scale draft genome of , in which ∼99.66% of the sequences were anchored onto 19 chromosomes with the scaffold N50 of 76.

Morphology and molecular identification of the zoological origin of medicinal seahorses in Chinese herbal markets.

Seahorses are a charismatic group of fish that have high economic value for their unique appearance and important medicinal values. They were heavily traded as traditional Chinese medicines. Authenticating the zoological origin of medicinal seahorses is very difficult because of their similar morphology.
