A chromosome-level genome assembly of Verticillium albo-atrum, an dangerous quarantine pathogen known for causing verticillium wilt
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 35.95 Mb chromosome-level genome assembly with a N50 of 4.20 Mb. In addition, transcript-based annotation identified 9967 protein-coding genes, of which 84.17% were functionally annotated. BUSCO analysis demonstrated that this genome assembly has a high-level completeness of 96.47% gene coverage.
