Whole-genome sequencing of global forest pathogen Diplodia sapinea causing pine shoot blight.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The pathogenic fungus Diplodia sapinea is of significant importance due to its primary role inducing tip dieback on various Pinus species which are widely distributed throughout the world. The objective of this study is to further provide comprehensive and specific resources for genome assembly and sequence annotation of this important forest pathogen from China, thereby establishing a robust foundation for future studies on its systematics, population genetics, genomics and global movement.

Data description

A high-quality genome of D. sapinea strain ZXD319 was sequenced utilizing the Nanopore PromethION and BGI DNBSEQ-T7 platforms. The assembled genome spans a total length of 36.81 Mb, comprising 14 contigs, with a GC content of 56.80% and an N50 value of 2,972,53
