Genome Sequence Resource for Nigrospora oryzae, an important pathogenic fungus threatening crop production.
Nigrospora oryzae is an important phytopathogenic fungus with a broad host range. Here, we report an annotated draft of the genome of N. oryzae field strain GZL1 collected from maize assembled from PacBio and Illumina sequencing reads. The assembly we obtained has 15 scaffolds with an N50 length of 4,037,616 bp. The resulting GZL1 draft genome is 43,214,190 bp, with GC content of 58.19% The completeness of GZL1 genome assembly is 99.30% This study is the first report of the genome sequence of N. oryzae, which can facilitate future study of the genetic variation and pathogenic mechanism of this important fungal pathogen.
