Hi-C assisted genome assembly of Ganoderma lucidum strain 5.1 fungi to obtain chromosome-level scaffolds. Hi-C assisted genome assembly of Ganoderma lucidum strain 5.1 fungi

We employed high-throughput shotgun sequencing to obtain the complete genome sequence of G. lucidum strain 5.1, which is distinguished by its remarkable xylomannan synthesis capabilities. Through the utilization of semi-automatic reordering based on conformation capture (Hi-C) data, we substantially enhanced the assembly process, resulting in the generation of 12 chromosome-level scaffolds with a cumulative length of 39 Mbp.
