Supplementary data for draft genome of a member of the ascomycotal fungal genus Pseudopithomyces (family Didymosphaeriaceae)

We update our previous draft genome of a member of genus Pseudopithomyces (previously annotated as Pseudopithomyces maydicus strain SBW1, now reannotated as Pseudopithomyces sp. strain SBW1. The new draft genome is based on a hybrid assembly utilising both ONT and Illumina data. The draft genome is comprised of 43 contigs with a total length of 39.65Mbp. We predict 13,669 protein coding gene models, of which 4241 (31%) were annotated to KEGG Orthology. Taxonomic assignment to Pseudopithomyces sp. was supported by comparative analysis of extracted ITS regions, mitochondrial DNA sequence and whole genome comparisons using k-mer sketches. The following items of Additional Data Files are made available in this repository: Additional Data File 1: contigs.fasta FASTA file of entire assembly. Additional Data File 2: draft_genome.fasta FASTA file of draft whole genome sequence. Additional Data File 3: ITS_full.fasta FASTA file containing full length ITS sequences from contig 23 and contig 42. Additional Data File 4: 2NJ47W4U013-Alignment.txt Text file containing BLASTN alignments for ITS region contained on contig 23 Additional Data File 5: 2NJXH2GE013-Alignment.txt Text file containing BLASTN alignments for ITS region contained on contig 42 Additional Data File 6: 2NM79EUG016-Alignment.txt Text file containing BLASTN alignments for the mitochondrial genome from contig 40 Additional Data File 6: sourmash_bc10_hy_pm1_3.txt Text file containing the MASH similarities of the draft genome compared to 18,883 fungal genomes.
