Draft genome sequence of Hesperomyces virescens sensu lato species 1 strain D. Haelew. 1200h

Hesperomyces virescens is an obligate biotroph of Coccinellidae (ladybirds or ladybugs). It is a complex of multiple species, each adapted to individual host species. We report the draft genome sequence of H. virescens sensu lato species 1, based on a thallus from Olla v-nigrum, the ash-gray ladybird, collected in the 485-ha USDA-ARS, Southeastern Fruit and Tree Nut Research Laboratory, located in Byron, Georgia. This genome will be used in phylogenomic analyses and studies of parasitisim, thallus development, and perithecial origin.

淡色嗜瓢霉（Hesperomyces virescens）是瓢甲科（Coccinellidae，俗称瓢虫）的专性活体营养型生物。该类群为多物种复合体，每一物种均特化适配单一宿主物种。本研究报道了广义淡色嗜瓢霉（Hesperomyces virescens sensu lato）物种1的基因组草图序列，其测序材料取自灰瓢虫（Olla v-nigrum）的菌体，该宿主样本采集于佐治亚州拜伦市占地485公顷的美国农业部农业研究服务局（USDA-ARS）东南部水果与坚果研究实验室。该基因组将用于系统基因组学分析以及寄生作用、菌体发育和子囊壳起源相关研究。
