A chromosome-scale genome assembly resource for Myriosclerotinia sulcatula infecting sedge grass (Carex sp.)
收藏资源简介：
The fungus <em>Myriosclerotinia sulcatula</em> is a close relative of the notorious polyphagous plant pathogens <em>Botrytis cinerea</em> and <em>Sclerotinia sclerotiorum</em> but exhibits a host range restricted to plants from the <em>Carex</em>genus (<em>Cyperaceae</em> family). To date, there are no genomic resources available for fungi in the <em>Myriosclerotinia</em>genus. Here, we present a chromosome-scale reference genome assembly for <em>M. sulcatula</em>. The assembly contains 24 contigs with a total length of 43.53 Mbp, with scaffold N<sub>50</sub> of 2,649.7 kbp and N<sub>90</sub> of 1,133.1 kbp. BRAKER-predicted gene models were manually curated using WebApollo, resulting in 11,275 protein-coding genes that we functionally annotated. We provide a high-quality reference genome assembly and annotation for <em>M. sulcatula</em> as a resource for studying evolution and pathogenicity in fungi from the <em>Sclerotiniaceae</em> family.
