title: Draft genome of the fungus-growing termite pathogenic fungusOphiocordyceps bispora(Ophiocordycipitaceae, Hypocreales, Ascomycota).
abstract: This article documents the public availability of genome sequence data and assembled contigs representing the partial draft genome ofOphiocordyceps bispora. As one of the few known pathogens of fungus-farming termites, a draft genome ofO. bisporarepresents the opportunity to further the understanding of disease and resistance in these complex termite societies. With the ongoing attempts to resolve the taxonomy of the Hypocralaean family, more genetic data will also help to shed light on the phylogenetic relationship between sexual and asexual life stages. Next generation sequence data is available from the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) under accession PRJEB13655; run numbers: ERR1368522, ERR1368523, and ERR1368524. Genome assembly available from ENA under accession numbers: FKNF01000001-FKNF01000302. Gene prediction available as protein fasta, nucleotide fasta and GFF file from Mendeley Data with accession doi:10.17632/r99fd6g3s4.2 (http://dx.doi.org/10.17632/r99fd6g3s4.2).
