Use of multiple sequencing technologies to produce a high-quality genome of the fungus Pseudogymnoascus destructans , the causative agent of bat White-Nose syndrome
Abstract
White-Nose syndrome has recently emerged as one of the most devastating wildlife diseases recorded, causing widespread mortality in numerous bat species throughout eastern North America. Here, we present an improvised reference genome of the fungal pathogen Pseudogymnoascus destructans for use in comparative genomic studies.
