The genus Cinnamomum, belonging to the Lauraceae family, includes species renowned for their aromatic properties due to essential oils in their bark, leaves, and roots.
Notable species like Cinnamomum chago, Cinnamomum aromaticum, and Cinnamomum micranthum display unique traits.
However, despite their ecological and economic importance, genomic data for these species remain scarce.
The genome sequences of Cinnamomum chago, Cinnamomum aromaticum, and Cinnamomum micranthum were obtained from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) under the accession numbers GCA_038049695.1, GCA_040802715.1, and GCA_003546025.1, respectively.
The genome size of Cinnamomum chago is 1.1 Gb, organized into 12 chromosomes.
Cinnamomum aromaticum has a genome size of 863.4 Mb, comprising a total of 836,275 scaffolds, while Cinnamomum micranthum has a genome size of 740.4 Mb, with 2,150 scaffolds.
In Cinnamomum chago, a total of 486,963 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) were identified, consisting of 297,292 mononucleotide repeats, 91,343 dinucleotide repeats, and 29,287 trinucleotide repeats.
The genome assembly of Cinnamomum aromaticum revealed 197,177 SSRs, while Cinnamomum micranthum f. kanehirae exhibited 443,498 SSRs.
The Cinnamomum microsatellite marker database, CmSatDB, is a user-friendly database developed using MySQL, HTML, PHP, and CSS, designed to store microsatellite SSR data for three Cinnamomum species: Cinnamomum chago, Cinnamomum aromaticum, and Cinnamomum micranthum.
The database provides customized search options to facilitate research on genetic diversity and species conservation.
This resource is crucial for advancing studies on Cinnamomum species, particularly in medicinal and industrial applications.
