Abstract excerpt
The chytrid Synchytrium endobioticum causes potato wart disease and is a regulated quarantine pathogen. Due to its obligate association with the potato host, obtaining pure genome sequences has been technically challenging. Previous population studies were limited to microsatellites or mitochondrial genomes, which capture only a small portion of the pathogen's genetic diversity. To enable the first population...
