Haplotype-phased and chromosome-level genome assembly of <i>Puccinia polysora</i> , a giga-scale fungal pathogen causing southern corn rust
2022-05-19
Abstract excerpt
Rust fungi are characterized by large genomes with high repeat content and have two haploid nuclei in most life stages, which makes achieving high-quality genome assemblies challenging. Here, we described a pipeline using HiFi reads and Hi-C data to assemble a gigabase-sized fungal pathogen, Puccinia polysora f.sp. zeae , to haplotype-phased and chromosome-scale. The final assembled genome is 1.71 Gbp, with ~850...
