A chromosomal-level genome assembly of Sinodiscula theae-sinensis strain Sthe1 (opens in new tab)

Sinodiscula theae-sinensis, the type species of Sinodiscula, causes tea anthracnose in China. The lack of a high-quality reference genome has hindered studies on its molecular pathogenicity and evolutionary relationships with closely related species such as S. camellicola. In this study, we present the assembly of a chromosome-level genome for S. theae-sinensis, which was obtained by integrating PacBio, Illumina, and Hi-C sequencing data. The assembled genome size is 41.25 Mb, consisting of 5...
