lichen metagenome Genome sequencing and assembly. Umbilicaria spp. & Dermatocarpon miniatum

We sequenced genomes of nine lichenized-fungi, eight belonging to the lichen-forming fungal genus Umbilicaria (U. deusta, U. freyi, U. grisea, U. hispanica, U. phaea, U. pustulata, U. spodochroa, U. subpolyphylla) and one to Dermatocarpon miniatum. We identify the gyrophoric acid gene cluster from the Umbilicaria genomes.
