Chromosome-level genome assembly of Myristica yunnanensis sheds light on genomic limitations underlying its critically endangered status in China

Highlights • The first chromosome-level assembly for the Myristicaceae family.• Myristicaceae represents the earliest diverging families within the Magnoliales• Genomic constraints and climatic fluctuations may have contributed to the endangered status of Myristica yunnanensis.
