An alfalfa (or lucerne) genome reference sequence is an essential tool for breeding of this major legume species. The clone “Mercedes2.11” of Flemish origin has been sequenced and the genome assembly has been carried out with NRGene protocols. A total of almost 190 000 scaffolds have been generated and this genome assembly reaches 2.6 Gb (80% of the 3.2 Gb expected). Genome annotation has provided 233 049 protein-coding genes and 36 752 non-protein coding genes. This genome portal based on JBrowse has been developed for searching the annotated genome.
