Nanopore hybrid assembly for Biscogniauxia mediterranea, isolated from Quercus cerris affected by charcoal disease in an endangered coastal wood

Biscogniauxia mediterranea is the causal agent of the charcoal disease affecting oak decline under the trigger of various biotic and abiotic factors including the climate change. Here we report the genome assembly of an Italian B. mediterranea strain obtained by hybrid sequencing technologies combining long and short reads.
