Abstract: Gymnosperms are a unique lineage of plants that currently lack a high-quality reference genome due to their large genome size and high repetitive sequence content. Here, we report a nearly complete genome assembly for Ginkgo biloba with a genome size of 9.87 Gb, an N50 contig size of 1.58 Mb and an N50 scaffold size of 775 Mb. We were able to accurately annotate 27,832 protein-coding genes in total, superseding the inaccurate annotation of 41,840 genes in a previous draft genome assembly. We found that expansion of the G. biloba genome, accompa... (read more)

This indicator reflects the "current" impact/attention (the "hype") of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network.
Influence:
This indicator reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically).
Citation Count:
This is an alternative to the "Influence" indicator, which also reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically).
Impulse:
This indicator reflects the initial momentum of an article directly after its publication, based on the underlying citation network.
