Whole-genome sequencing and draft genome assembly of two Alternaria isolates recovered from symptomatic Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) leaves in Tennessee, USA. Genome sequencing and assembly
This project aims to generate whole-genome sequencing data and draft genome assemblies for two Alternaria isolates, 2-2 and 9-1, recovered from separate symptomatic Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) leaves from plants grown in a research farm at Tennessee Technological University in Cookeville, Tennessee, USA. The resulting genomic resources will support future comparative genomic studies of cotton-associated Alternaria and improve understanding of genomic diversity within the genus. Raw Illumina sequencing reads and corresponding draft genome assemblies are included in this BioProject.
