Whole-genome resequencing, population genomics and distribution modelling of the wood-decay fungus Meruliopsis taxicola in Fennoscandia
This study presents whole-genome resequencing data and a genome assembly of the basidiomycete wood-decay fungus Meruliopsis taxicola sampled across Fennoscandia.The dataset was generated to investigate population divergence, secondary contact and hybridization between genetically and ecologically different lineages. The study aims to characterize population structure, infer demographic history, local adaptations and the dynamics of a hybrid zone. The data provide a genomic resource for studying evolutionary processes in non-model fungi and contribute to understanding how historical isolation and secondary contact shape a naturally occurring hybrid zone.
