The soil-borne oomycete Phytophthora capsici is the most destructive pathogen of vegetable crops and is responsible for substantial economic losses worldwide. Here, we present an improved genome assembly of P. capsici generated by Oxford Nanopore long-read sequencing (for de novo assembly) and Illumina short-read sequencing (for polishing). The genome of P. capsici is 100.5 Mb in length (GC content = 50.8%) and contains 26,069 predicted protein-coding genes. The whole genome of P. capsici is assembled into 194 scaffolds, 90% of which are larger than 300 kb. The N50 scaffold length and maximum scaffold length are 1.0 and 4.1 Mb, respectively. The whole genome sequence of P. capsici will broaden our knowledge of this pathogen and enhance our understanding of the molecular basis of its pathogenicity, which will facilitate the development of effective management strategies.

ABSTRACT Pantoea americana strain VS1, an extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing epibiont, was isolated from Magnolia grandiflora in central Florida, USA. Here, we report the de novo whole-genome sequence of this strain, which consists of a total of 191 contigs spanning 5,412,831 bp, with a GC content of 57.3% and comprising 4,836 predicted coding sequences.

Abstract Background Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam.) is a tropical and sub-tropical fruit tree distributed in Asia, Africa, and South America. It is the national fruit of Bangladesh and produces fruit in the summer season only. However, a year-round jackfruit variety, BARI Kanthal-3 developed by Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI) provides fruits from September to June. This study aimed to evaluate the agronomic performance of BARI Kanthal-3 and to generate a draft whole genome sequence to obtain molecular insights of this important unique variety. Results Number of fruits, average each fruit weight, fruit yield per plant, edible portion in fruit and ß carotene content of BARI Kanthal-3 (n = 5) were 422/plant/year, 5.60 kg, 236.32 kg/year, 53.5% and 3614 mg/100g, respectively. During de novo assembly, 817.7 Mb of the BARI Kanthal-3 genome was scaffolded. However, in the reference-guided genome assembly, almost 843 Mb of the BARI Kanthal-3 genome was scaffolded. Through BUSCO assessment, 97.2% of the core genes were represented in the assembly with 1.3% and 1.5% either fragmented or missing, respectively. By comparing the single copy orthologues (SCOs) in three closely and one distantly related species of BARI Kanthal-3, 706 SCOs were found to be shared across the genomes of the five species. The phylogenetic analysis of the shared SCOs showed that A. heterophyllus is the closest species to BARI Kantal-3. The estimated genome size of BARI Kanthal-3 was 1.04 giga base pairs (Gbp) with a heterozygosity rate of 1.62%. The estimated GC content was 34.10%. Variant analysis revealed that BARI Kanthal-3 includes 5.7 M (35%) and 10.4 M (65%) simple and heterozygous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and about 90% of all these polymorphisms are located in inter-genic regions. Conclusion The whole-genome sequence of A. heterophyllus cv. BARI Kanthal-3 reveals extremely high single nucleotide polymorphisms in inter-genic regions. The findings of this study will help better understanding the evolution, domestication, phylogenetic relationships, year-round fruiting and the markers development for molecular breeding of this highly nutritious fruit crop.

ABSTRACT Thraustochytrids are ecologically and biotechnologically relevant marine species. We report here the de novo assembly and annotation of the whole-genome sequence of a new thraustochytrid strain, CCAP_4062/3. The genome size was estimated at 38.7 Mb with 11,853 predicted coding sequences, and the GC content was scored at 57%.

The Sweetleaf (Stevia rebaudiana: Asteraceae) is widely grown for use as a sweetener.  We present the whole genome sequence and annotation of this species.  A total of 146,838,888 paired-end reads consisting of 22.2G bases were obtained by sequencing one leaf from a commercially grown seedling.  The reads were assembled by a de-novo method followed by alignment to related species.   Annotation was performed via GenMark-ES. The raw and assembled data is publicly available via GenBank: Sequence Read Archive (SRR6792730) and Assembly (GCA_009936405).

Combined Nanopore and Illumina whole-genome sequencing of a French Guianan Mycobacterium ulcerans (Buruli ulcer agent) clinical isolate yielded a 5.12-Mbp genome with a 65.5% GC content, 5,215 protein-coding genes, and 51 predicted RNA genes. This publicly available M. ulcerans whole-genome sequence from a strain isolated in South America is closely related to M. ulcerans subsp. liflandii.
