Pseudoperonospora cubensis and Pseudoperonospora humuli isolate sequences from RNA-seq

RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was used for single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) identification from two economically important obligate plant pathogens, Pseudoperonospora cubensis and P. humuli. The overall purpose of this study was to collect and utilize genomic data to further investigate the genetic differentiation of these two closely related species. The characterization of genes containing SNPs differentiating these two closely related downy mildew species may contribute to the development of improved detection and diagnosis strategies and improve our understanding of host specificity pathways.

本研究采用RNA测序（RNA-seq）技术，从两种经济作物的重要专性寄生植物病原体——假霜霉菌（Pseudoperonospora cubensis）和P. humuli中识别单核苷酸多态性（SNP）。研究旨在收集和利用基因组数据，进一步探究这两种密切相关物种的遗传分化。对含有区分这两种密切相关霜霉菌物种的SNP基因的鉴定，可能有助于开发更优化的检测与诊断策略，并加深我们对寄主特异性途径的理解。
