You can search for genome sequences at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) site.

Here is a link to Persea americana (avocado) from NCBI. It states on the page the submitter for the genome was Hainan University.

  • $\begingroup$ @Dale You can access the entire genome via: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Traces/wgs/?val=NXHZ01 and then go to the Downloads tab and you can download the FASTA file. This will have all the 5000 contigs together in a ~130MB file. If you do not have software to open the file type, you can change it to a .txt file and open it that way, although you might want to use a good text editor for that. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FASTA_format $\endgroup$
