Chromosome level assembly of the oat crown rust fungus Puccinia coronata f. sp. avenae

We generate a chromosome-scale assembly for each of the two nuclear genomes of the oat crown rust pathogen Puccinia coronata f. sp. avenae (Pca). To create a complementary resource to the two previous Pca references that would allow the discovery of rust effectors and further our understanding of virulence evolution, a high-quality genome reference of an isolate of the historic race 203
