Cannabis sativa
Information about Cannabis sativa
Cannabis sativa is an ancient plant native to central Asia. It is widely cultivated for medicinal, food, industrial, recreational use and is also consumed as narcotic.
Cannabis sativa (hemp) has about 876 Mb genome size. There are 8 genome assemblies for cannabis sativa and the current assembly used in GVM is GCA_900626175.1 [1]. It has the following facts:
● Assembly level: Chromosome
● Genome size (Mb): 876.148
● Number of chromosomes: 10
● Number of unplaced scaffolds: 221
● Protein count: 33677
● GC%: 36.1504

Genome Re-sequencing Projects and Variation Identification
Dozens of cannabis sativa have been re-sequenced in several projects, such as:
● PRJNA297710 [2]
● PRJNA310948 [3]
● PRJNA350225 [4]
● PRJNA73819 [5]
GVM now integrate 82 whole genome re-sequencing data of cannabis varieties for genome variation calling.
