Maire tawake genome

We have constructed a highly contiguous, near complete reference genome for maire tawake (Syzygium maire), a critically threatened swamp forest tree species endemic to Aotearoa New Zealand. It is expected that this resource will be used to enhance conservation efforts by facilitating genomics studies aimed at understanding the distribution of genetic diversity, the evolutionary and adaptive genetic characters of the species, and potential mechanism to resist emerging pathogens and other agents of global change. This information will aid restoration efforts by informing seed sourcing and assisted migration of individuals to other subpopulations in nearby intact or restoring swamp forests.

The maire tawake genome is a collaboration between Rangitāne o Manawatu, the New Zealand Institute for Plant and Food Research Ltd (Plant & Food Research) and the Victoria University of Wellington.
