Vanilla planifolia, the species cultivated to produce one of the world’s most popular flavors, is highly proneto partial genome endoreplication, which leads to highly unbalanced DNA content in cells. We report herethe first molecular evidence of partial endoreplication at the chromosome scale by the assembly and annotation of an accurate haplotype-phased genome of V. planifolia. Cytogenetic data demonstrated that thediploid genome size is 4.09 Gb, with 16 chromosome pairs, although aneuploid cells are frequentlyobserved. Using PacBio HiFi and optical mapping, we assembled and phased a diploid genome of 3.4 Gbwith a scaffold N50 of 1.2 Mb and 59 128 predicted protein-coding genes. The atypical k-mer frequenciesand the uneven sequencing depth observed agreed with our expectation of unbalanced genome representation. Sixty-seven percent of the genes were scattered over only 30% of the genome, putatively linkinggene-rich regions and the endoreplication phenomenon. By contrast, low-coverage regions (non-endoreplicated) were rich in repeated elements but also contained 33% of the annotated genes. Furthermore, this assembly showed distinct haplotype-specific sequencing depth variation patterns, suggesting complexmolecular regulation of endoreplication along the chromosomes. This high-quality, anchored assemblyrepresents 83% of the estimated V. planifolia genome. It provides a significant step toward the elucidationof this complex genome. To support post-genomics efforts, we developed the Vanilla Genome Hub, a userfriendly integrated web portal that enables centralized access to high-throughput genomic and other omicsdata and interoperable use of bioinformatics tools.
