title: PacBio whole genome sequencing of Xanthomonas hortorum pv. pelargonii strain 305
design: Genomic DNA of Xhp305 was isolated from 3 ml of overnight culture using Wizard Genomic DNA Purification Kit  Promega. Microbial De novo sequencing was performed at Novogene Co., Ltd. using both PacBio (PacBio Sequel II) and Illumina (NovaSeq 6000) platforms. The shotgun genomic library for short-read sequencing and the library for long-read sequencing were prepared by the service provider, who also performed quality control. The Illumina sequencing yielded 17,914,078 paired-end reads of length 150 bp. The PacBio sequencing yielded, after trimming, 245,660 subreads, with mean length of 11,006 bp, N50 of 13,343 bp, for a total of 2,704 Mbp.
