PacBio sequenced genome assemblies and reference assemblies for Neurospora species

High-quality genome assemblies of Neurospora strains, based on PacBio RSII long-read sequencing data. Strains are listed using the strain number from the Fungal Genetics Stock Center (www.fgsc.net), where they also can be ordered from, or from DD Jacobson's personal collection (W1426, W1434) (Jacobson et al., 2006).

Raw PacBio reads have been deposited in the Sequence Read Archive (SRA) in BioProjects PRJNA622402 (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/xxx).
Included are assemblies of reference genomes for N. crassa (GSE1024) and N. tetrasperma L6 (2508, 2509) used in this study.
