Improved Genome Sequence and Gene Annotation Resource for the Potato Late Blight Pathogen Phytophthora infestans

Phytophthora infestans is a devastating pathogen causing potato late blight (Solanum tuberosum). Here we report the sequencing, assembly and genome annotation for two Phytophthora infestans isolates sampled in Republic of Korea. Genome sequencing was carried out using long read (Oxford Nanopore) and...

description Phytophthora infestans is a devastating pathogen causing potato late blight (Solanum tuberosum). Here we report the sequencing, assembly and genome annotation for two Phytophthora infestans isolates sampled in Republic of Korea. Genome sequencing was carried out using long read (Oxford Nanopore) and short read (Illumina Nextseq) sequencing technologies that significantly improved the contiguity and quality of P. infestans genome assembly. Our resources would help researchers better understand the molecular mechanisms by which P. infestans causes late blight disease in the future.
