Pythium insidiosum Genome sequencing. Pythium insidiosum strain:Pi-S

P. insidiosum strain Pi-S, which was isolated from a patient with vascular pythiosis (the most common form of P. insidiosum infection). Identity of the organism was checked by culture identification and homology analysis of rDNA sequence. The resulting gDNA underwent de novo whole genome sequencing using a combination of the Illumina HiSeq2000 platform by Yourgene Bioscience, Taiwan (http://www.yourgene.com.tw), and the 454 Genome Sequencer FLX Titanium platform by Genome Institute, National Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, Thailand (http://www4a.biotec.or.th/GI).
