Neoascochyta sp. HWLR27 Genome sequencing

Neoascochyta sp. is a mycoparasitical fungus isolated from Salix fragilis (Crack willow) infected with Melampsora epitea (the causal agent of willow leaf rust). Here we report the first 29.24 Mb draft genome of Neoascochyta sp. strain HWLR27. The draft genome contains 12016 scaffolds.

新壳间座壳菌属未定种（Neoascochyta sp.）是一种菌寄生真菌（mycoparasitical fungus），分离自感染了柳栅锈菌（Melampsora epitea，柳树叶锈病的病原菌）的爆竹柳（Salix fragilis，俗称Crack willow）。本研究首次报道了新壳间座壳菌属未定种菌株HWLR27的29.24 Mb草图基因组（draft genome），该草图基因组包含12016个支架序列（scaffolds）。
