Abstract

Trichothecium roseum is widely distributed throughout the world and forms pink powdery molds on various fruits and vegetables, lowering their quality and leading to great economic losses. Due to the limited availability of high-quality genomic and annotation resources, little is known about the pathogenesis of T. roseum at the molecular level. In this study, we reported a high-quality genome assembly of strain YXFP-22015 using Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) for long read sequencing and MGISEQ-2000 for short read sequencing. The genome was also well-annotated based on the combination of RNA-seq by MGISEQ-2000 and in silico prediction. Further analysis on this will contribute to a better understanding of T. roseum infection mechanisms.
