The genomic resources developed for the genus are scarce, and this has limited the study of the gene flow, local adaptation, and hybridization dynamics. In this study, based on ~155 million Illumina paired-end reads per species, we performed a de novo genome assembly and annotation of three Bursera species of the Bullockia section: Bursera bipinnata, Bursera cuneata, and Bursera palmeri. The total lengths of the genome assemblies were 253, 237, and 229 Mb for B. cuneata, B. palmeri, and B. bipinnata, respectively. The assembly of B. palmeri retrieved the most complete and single-copy BUSCOs (87.3%) relative to B. cuneata (86.5%) and B. bipinnata (76.6%). The ab initio gene prediction recognized between 21,000 and 32,000 protein-coding genes. Other genomic features, such as simple sequence repeats (SSRs), were also detected. Using the de novo genome assemblies as a reference, we identified single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for a set of 43 Bursera individuals. Moreover, we mapped the filtered reads of each Bursera species against the chloroplast genomes of five Burseraceae species, obtaining consensus sequences ranging from 156 to 160 kb in length. Our work contributes to the generation of genomic resources for an important but understudied genus of tropical-dry-forest species.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/genes13101741","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,27]],"date-time":"2022-09-27T23:12:12Z","timestamp":1664320332000},"page":"1741","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Development of Genomic Resources in Mexican Bursera (Section: Bullockia: Burseraceae): Genome Assembly, Annotation, and Marker Discovery for Three Copal Species"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0468-8928","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yessica","family":"Rico","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Ecolog\u00eda, A.C., Red de Diversidad Biol\u00f3gica del Occidente Mexicano, P\u00e1tzcuaro 61600, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3980-1908","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gustavo P.","family":"Lorenzana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Independent Consultant, P\u00e1tzcuaro 61608, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carlos A.","family":"Ben\u00edtez-Pineda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Ecolog\u00eda, A.C., Red de Diversidad Biol\u00f3gica del Occidente Mexicano, P\u00e1tzcuaro 61600, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4143-8909","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bode A.","family":"Olukolu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN 37996, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1026","DOI":"10.1111\/eva.12178","article-title":"A Field Guide to Whole-Genome Sequencing, Assembly and Annotation","volume":"7","author":"Ekblom","year":"2014","journal-title":"Evol.
