The complete genome sequence of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) variety ‘Mejhoul’
Abstract
We present a high-quality genome sequence of Moroccan date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.), variety 'Mejhoul', an economically and ecologically important tree to arid oasis regions. The genome was sequenced using Illumina Hi-Seq platform in paired-end sequencing and assembled with SPAdes v3.15.4. We present the complete genome sequence of Phoenix dactylifera L. Genomic DNA from the cultivar 'Mejhoul' was collected in Errachidia, Morocco, in July 2025 and sequenced using the Illumina platform. The reads were assembled using a de novo method followed by a finishing step. The raw and assembled data are publicly available via GenBank.
