Ascosphaera apis Nanopore long-read transcriptome data. Ascosphaera apis

Ascosphaera apis is a fungal pathogen that exclusively infects honeybee larvae, leading to chalkbrood disease, which damages the number of adult honeybees and colony productivity. In this study, A. apis mecylia and spores were respectively purified followed by Oxford Nanopore sequencing via PromethION platform. The data reported here provides a beneficial genetic resource for improving genome and transcriptome annotations of A. apis and for exploring alternative splicing and polyadenylation of A. apis mRNAs
