Mangroves are an important part of coastal and estuarine ecosystems where they serve as nurseries for marine species and prevent coastal erosion. Here we report the genome of Sonneratia ovata, which is a true mangrove that grows in estuarine environments and can tolerate moderate salt exposure. We sequenced the S.

Here, we report the first chromosome-scale assembly of the genome. We employed PacBio sequencing to obtain a preliminary assembly, which was subsequently scaffolded using the chromatin contact mapping technique (Hi-C) into 22 pseudomolecules.

Mangroves play important ecological roles, including acting as breeding grounds for many fish species and to prevent coastal erosion. The genomes of three mangrove species, Bruguiera gymnorhiza, Bruguiera cylindrica, and a hybrid of the two, Bruguiera hainesii were sequenced, assembled and annotated.
