The complete genome sequence of Toxicodendron radicans, Eastern Poison Ivy.

Eastern Poison Ivy ( Toxicodendron radicans, Anacardiaceae) is well known in Eastern North America for causing contact dermatitis, an itchy and painful rash in most people who come in contact with it.  We present the whole genome sequence and annotation of this species. A total of 96,255,779 paired-ends reads consisting of 28.9 G bases were obtained by sequencing one leaf from a wild-collected plant.  The reads were assembled by a de novo method followed by alignment to related species. Annotation was performed via GenMark-ES. The raw and assembled data is publicly available via GenBank: Sequence Read Archive ( SRR10325927) and Assembly ( GCA_009867345).
