Draft genome sequence of the oomycete Pythium destruens strain ATCC 64221 from a horse with pythiosis in Australia.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Genome sequences are a vital resource for accelerating the biological exploration of an organism of interest. Pythium destruens (a synonym of Pythium insidiosum) causes a difficult-to-treat infectious disease called pythiosis worldwide. Detection and management of pythiosis are challenging. Basic knowledge of the disease is lacking. Genomes of this organism isolated from different continents (i.e., Asia and the Americas) have been sequenced and publicly available. Here, we sequenced the genome of an Australian isolate of P. destruens. Genome data will facilitate the comparative analysis of this and related species at the molecular level.

Data description

Genomic DNA of the P. destruens strain ATCC 64221, isolated from a horse with pythiosis in Australia, was used
