<p><i>Ephedra sinica</i> is a high-value medicinal plant that produces important phenylpropylamino alkaloids pseudoephedrine and ephedrine. Few genomics resources exist for <i>E. </i>sinica, which has been characterized as a tetraploid with a monoploid genome size of 8.56 Gb. Here we reported a partial genome assembly of <i>E. sinica</i> (12.8 Gb) based on Illumina short-read sequencing technology at low coverage.</p>
