Genome sequencing of Cladophialophora bantiana UM 956 by Illumina sequencing platform. Genome sequencing of Cladophialophora bantiana UM 956

Cladophialophora bantiana is a dematiaceous fungus that cause central nervous system (CNS) infection in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients. In this work, C. bantiana UM 956 was recovered from the cerebrospinal fluid of a patient with brain abscess. The draft genome of the C. bantiana was generated by a combined assembly of two different insert-size Illumina sequencing libraries (5-kb insert-size library and 500-bp insert-size library). The generated genome will serve a platform to further understand its basic biology and its pathogenicity in human.
