Statistics associated with the assembly of the Brachiaria ruziziensis reference genome and anchoring in pseudo-molecules

	Whole-genome assembly (WGA)	Pruned WGAa	Anchored assembly
Total length	732.5 Mbp	533.9 Mbp	525.1 Mbp
% Ns	10.6%	11.7%	12.18%
Number of sequences	102 579	23 076	9 pseudo-Chrs
N50	27.8 kbp	44.6 kbp	55.9 Mbp
N20	76.1 kbp	91.7 kbp	62.7 Mbp
N80	3.9 kbp	19.5 kbp	44.1 Mbp

The WGA is deposited in NCBI, accession number GCA_003016355. Anchoring is available in AGP format, together with the raw reads, in the Bioproject PRJNA437375.

Ns, ambiguous nucleotides; N50, N20, and N80, sequence length of the shortest contig at 50, 20, and 80% of the total genome length.

^aSequences without genes and under 10 kbp have been removed.
