Armillaria sp. CMW 4456 Genome sequencing and assembly. Armillaria sp. CMW 4456

Species of the fungal genus Armillaria are pathogens of trees and other woody plants. Several genomes were sequenced of species occurring in North America and Europe, but only one species from Africa was sequenced to date. The genome of an Armillaria isolate belonging to African Group B lineage was therefore sequenced in this project using both long- and short-read technologies. This genome expands the sequence resources for Armillaria species from the Southern Hemisphere and Africa.
