The paper reports the chromosome-scale genome assembly of African yam bean using long and short read sequencing combined with Hi-C scaffolding, and annotates 31,614 protein-coding genes.

The paper presents a chromosome-scale genome assembly of Lablab purpureus, a neglected crop, and reports on its domestication history and genetic diversity, offering a model for inclusive orphan crop genomics.

Grass pea, a diploid legume with a 6.3 Gbp genome, gets two draft assemblies, one short-read and one Nanopore, plus 33,819 annotated genes.
