Draft genome sequence of the Ex-type of Phytophthora ramorum using long-read MinION Nanopore sequencing

Plant Pathogens draft genome sequences (WGS) are vital for understanding pathogen mechanism as well as for various diagnostics and taxonomic purposes. Type material is the taxonomic important support for formal names to the specimens submitted to museums or herbaria that serve as exemplars for the species. Ex-type material are cultures and duplicates of the Type deposited in culture collections from which sequences including WGS are generated. It is crucial to have a right organism’s sequences especially for identification and diagnostic purposes. The Phytophthora ramorum is one of the most important species of biosecurity concern for agriculture at the United States, United Kingdom and other areas of the world. Here we report whole genome sequences for first Ex-type material for Phytophthora ramorum using Oxford Nanopore Technology (ONT) for various applications.

植物病原体草图基因组序列（WGS）对于理解病原机制以及进行多种诊断和分类目的至关重要。类型材料是正式名称的重要分类学支持，这些名称适用于提交给博物馆或标本馆的标本，这些机构作为物种的范例。原型材料包括在培养库中存档的类型培养物及其副本，从这些材料中生成包括WGS在内的序列。对于识别和诊断目的，获取正确的生物体序列至关重要。Phytophthora ramorum 是美国、英国及其他世界区域农业生物安全关注的重要物种之一。在此，我们报告了使用牛津纳米孔技术（ONT）对Phytophthora ramorum的第一份原型材料的全基因组序列，以满足多种应用需求。
