Chromosome-level genome assembly of Ophiorrhiza pumila reveals the evolution of camptothecin biosynthesis

Ophiorrhiza pumila is a medicinal plant that can produce the anti-cancer monoterpene indole alkaloid (MIA) camptothecin. Here, the authors report its genome assembly and propose a working model for MIA evolution and biosynthesis through comparative genomics, synteny, and metabolic gene cluster analy...
