Abstract
Ginseng (Panax ginseng) genome has been difficult to unlock its genomics due to its size, high repeat content, and polyploidy nature. Although chromosome-scale genome assembly for ginseng holds numerous challenges, a draft gene space assembly can open many avenues for ginseng crop improvements. This chapter provides an overview of the current ginseng genomic status, evolution, gene annotation of novel genes associated with repeat evolution, and environmental adaptations.
