Abstract Background Many medicinal plants are known for their complex genomes with high ploidy, heterozygosity, and repetitive content which pose severe challenges for genome sequencing of those species. Long reads from Oxford nanopore sequencing technology (ONT) or Pacific Biosciences Single Molecu...
