design: Genomic DNA was extracted from single spore colony of P. abelmoschi (MCC:9491) by following the modified CTAB method. The library was sequenced on Illumina HiSeq2500 (Illumina, USA) platform and Nanopore sequencing was performed using the MinION sequencing device which generated 6.86 and 2.34 Gbp data respectively. The paired-end library for Illumina sequencing was prepared with a combination of 2  100 bp and 2  250 bp reads.
