Arachis hypogaea Assembly and Gene Annotation

About Arachis hypogaea

The peanut (Arachis hypogaea), also known as the groundnut, goober (US), goober pea, pindar (US) or monkey nut (UK), is a legume crop grown mainly for its edible seeds. It is widely grown in the tropics and subtropics by small and large commercial producers, both as grain legume and as an oil crop. Atypically among legumes, peanut pods develop underground leading botanist Carl Linnaeus to name peanuts hypogaea, which means "under the earth".

Assembly

The assembly presented here has been imported from INSDC and is linked to the assembly accession [GCA_003086295.3].

The total length of the assembly is 2557413415 bp contained within 442 scaffolds. The scaffold N50 value is 135027066, the scaffold L50 value is 9. The GC% content of the assembly is 36.5%.

Annotation

The annotation presented is derived from genes imported from the community GFF3 with the assembly accession GCA_003086295.3.

Genomic annotation was deposited along with initial assembly submission by "International Peanut Genome Initiative".

Protein features, BLAST hits and cross-references have been computed by Ensembl Plants.
