Genome data of Bipolaris zeicola

<em>Bipolaris zeicola</em><em> </em>is one of the fungal pathogens that causes northern corn leaf spot disease in <em>Zea mays</em>. Here, we report a draft genome assembly of<em> B. zeicola</em> using a combination of Illumina PE150 and PacBio RSII long-read sequencing data. Approximately 6.99 Gb (193x coverage) of PacBio long reads were assembled into a 36.30 Mb genome assembly that, contained 24 contigs with an N50 of 2.05 Mb. A total of 11,303 genes were predicted, of which 545 were carbohydrate-active enzymes and 2,081 were membrane transporters.
