Ustilago hordei strain:YN01 Genome sequencing and assembly
Ustilago hordei (U. hordei) is an important fungal pathogen causing covered smut in hulless barley Qingke (Hordeum vulgare var. coeleste L.). A high-quality genome of U. hordei is essential for understanding the molecular basis of its pathogenicity and can shed lights on researches of related fields. Here, we successfully assembled the first complete genome of U. hordei (YN01), with a total size of 28.6 Mb. 7,079 protein-coding genes were predicted from the whole genome, with the complete BUSCO scores achieved 96.90%, indicating high completeness.
