Genome assemblies reveal genetic insights in Fusarium oxysporum strains, impacting the banana industry.
Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc), the causal agent of banana Fusarium wilt (Panama disease), has severely jeopardized the global banana industry. Here we present the chromosomal-level genome assemblies of Foc tropical race 4 (TR4) and race 1 (R1) strains from Taiwan. Both strains were sequenced by Illumina (Mi-Seq) and Oxford Nanopore sequencing (MinION) technologies and assembled by the NECAT assembler.
