Our results highlight the value of using close relatives to produce de novo draft assemblies in species where such resources are unavailable. Our annotated genome of T. graeca paves the way to delve deeper into the species' evolutionary history and provides a valuable resource to enhance direct conservation efforts on their threatened populations.
