A chromosome-level genome assembly of Verticillium albo-atrum, an dangerous quarantine pathogen known for causing verticillium wilt.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Verticillium albo-atrum is one of the most dangerous quarantine pathogen, which is a soil-borne pathogen known for causing verticillium wilt, a disease that affects a wide range of plants, including many economically important crops. However, the lack of high-quality genome resource has greatly limited the research of molecular and evolutionary mechanisms of Verticillium albo-atrum. The highly-quality genome of Verticillium albo-atrum provides a valuable resource for better understanding of the biological characteristics.

Data description

We sequenced and assembled the genome of Verticillium albo-atrum using ONT long reads combined with DNBSEQ-T7 paired-end short reads and anchored 11 contigs into 8 chromosomes using Hi-C chromatin contact information, yielding a
