Candidatus Phytoplasma sp. AldY-WA1 Genome sequencing and assembly

In 2019, a phytoplasma strain in the 16SrV group was identified from a symptomatic red alder tree (Alnus rubra) leaf sample collected from a public site in Washington State, USA.Here, we report the first draft genome sequence of this strain named AldY-WA1, which estimated to be 89% complete with a G + C content of 22.36%.This information will facilitate comparative genomics of phytoplasmas in the elm yellows group (16SrV).
