description Devastating fungi are one of the most important biotic factors associated with numerous infectious diseases not only in plants but in animals and humans too. <i>Arthrinium rasikravindrae</i> a devastating fungus is responsible for severe infections in a large number of host plants all over the world. In the present study, we analyzed the whole genome sequence of devastating fungus <i>A. rasikravindrae</i> strain AQZ-20, using Illumina Technology from the Novogene Bio-informatics Co., Ltd. Beijing, China. To identify associated annotation results, various corresponding functional annotations databases were utilized. The genome size was 48.24 MB with an N90 (scaffolds) length of 2,184,859 bp and encoded putative genes were 11,101, respectively. In addition, we evaluated the comparative genomic analyses with 4 fungal strains of Ascomycetes. Two related species showed a strong correlation while others exhibited a weak correlation with the <i>A. rasikravindrae</i> AQZ-20 fungus. This study is a discovery of the genome-scale assembly, as well as annotation for <i>A. rasikravindrae</i>. The results obtained from the whole genome sequencing and genomic resources developed in this study will contribute significantly to genetic improvement applications against diseases caused by <i>A. rasikravindrae</i>. In addition, the phylogenetic tree, followed by genomic RNA, transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolic, as well as pathogenic data reported in current research will provide deep insight for further studies in the future.
