A Chromosome-Scale Genome Assembly of <i>Mitragyna speciosa</i> (Kratom) and the Assessment of Its Genetic Diversity in Thailand

A Chromosome-Scale Genome Assembly of <i>Mitragyna speciosa</i> (Kratom) and the Assessment of Its Genetic Diversity in Thailand

<i>Mitragyna speciosa</i> (Kratom) is a tropical narcotic plant native to Southeast Asia with unique pharmacological properties. Here, we report the first chromosome-scale assembly of the <i>M. speciosa</i> genome. We employed PacBio sequencing to obtain a preliminary assembl...
