Colletotrichum shisoi FDWSRU 21-072 nuclear and mitochondrial genome annotations

Colletotrichum shisoi is a fungal plant pathogen of Perilla frutescens, a mint species cultivated in some Asian countries but considered invasive in the United States. This dataset contains a new, highly contiguous genome sequence generated from the North American C. shisoi isolate FDWSRU 21-072, which has been proposed for use as a biological control agent of invasive P. frutescens. Long-read PacBio sequencing produced a nuclear genome assembly of 48 contigs and 86.9 Mb. Structural and functional gene annotations were generated with the FunAnnotate v1.8.16 pipeline. Repetitive contents were annotated using RepeatMasker v4.1.5. A complete mitochondrial genome was assembled using MitoHifi and Flye, and mitochondrial annotations were predicted using MFannot.
