Genome assemblies for Pyricularia species and related genera isolated from diverse host plants

Microbiol Resour Announc. 2026 Jan 13;15(1):e0009125. doi: 10.1128/mra.00091-25. Epub 2025 Nov 24.

Abstract

We report the availability and preliminary analyses of genomic resources for 35 fungal strains representing Pyricularia and related genera. These data will provide new insights into genome expansions, as well as mechanisms driving colonization of new plant hosts.

Keywords: blast fungus; whole-genome shotgun.
