Improved genome assembly of Onygena corvina, a keratin-degrading fungus.
BMC research notes 20251205 1
OBJECTIVE: Onygena corvina is a non-pathogenic, saprophytic fungus that colonizes feathers, hooves, and hair, and represents a valuable source of keratin-degrading enzymes. The only genome assembly of O. corvina available to date was obtained for the strain CBS 281.48 using Illumina short-read sequencing, yielding a reference genome composed of 521 contigs with a contig N50 of 0.229 Mb. RESULTS: Here, we report an improved O. corvina CBS 281.48 genome assembly generated using a high-quality hybr ...[more]
