Abstract: Genome sequence provides one of the essential platforms for different aspects of genetics study for a focal organism. With the fast progress in sequencing technology, it has undergone three generations. The length of reads developed from decades of bases to decades of thousand bases, which has been of great benefit to the completeness and accuracy of genome assembly. Numbers of species have been sequenced the whole genome including more than 40 woody plants thus far, and there are many more sequencing projects of tree genome in process. Consequently, different bioinformatics analytical tools have been developed and applied for genome assembly and the subsequent analyses. Here, in the aspects of sequence technologies, method of genome assembling and the analysis by bioinformatics, we briefly listed the sequenced woody plants, reviewed the technical progress and utility of sequencing technologies, and introduced several analytical methods in genome assembling by using the third generation sequencing technology.
