Their diverse associations with photosynthetic organisms and their prominent roles as pathogens of humans and agricultural crops make Eurotiomycetes an ideal and important group in which to study evolutionary, ecological, and genomic connections among interactions spanning pathogenicity to mutualism. To better understand the biodiversity and evolutionary history of Eurotiomycetes involved in symbioses with photoautotrophs, we sequenced and assembled genomes from cultured isolates of endophytic, endolichenic, and lichenicolous fungi, as well as one metagenome-assembled genome from a lichenized species. These genomes were used in phylogenomic analyses to infer the evolutionary history of Eurotiomycetes, descriptions of species new to science, and comparative genomic analyses across nutritional modes.ENAfalseGenome sequencing and assembly of endophytic, endolichenic, lichenicolous, and lichen-forming Eurotiomycetes (Ascomycota)2024-07-242024-05-11PRJNA855484
