Genome sequencing of Neoscytalidium dimidiatum UM 880 by Illumina Sequencing Platform. Genome sequencing of Neoscytalidium dimidiatum UM 880 isolated from skin scraping

Neoscytalidium dimidiatum is a plant pathogen known to cause sooty canker on a wide range of plants. This species also causes infection in humans Draft genome of N. scytalidium was generated in this study to gain insights on the capability of this fungus as plant and human pathogens. The genome is ~43 Mb in size, with 54.16% GC content and a total of 12,320 genes were predicted.
