Whole-Genome Sequencing of Aspergillus terreus Species Complex

Mycopathologia. 2020 Apr;185(2):405-408. doi: 10.1007/s11046-020-00433-0. Epub 2020 Feb 27.

Abstract

Aspergillus terreus species complex is an opportunistic fungal pathogen increasingly implicated in invasive infection, as well as chronic respiratory disease. Currently, an understanding of A. terreus pathogenicity is impeded by a limited number of whole-genome sequences of this fungal pathogen. We here describe a high-quality whole-genome assembly of European A. terreus clinical isolate M6925, derived by single-molecule real-time sequencing with short-read polishing.

Keywords: Aspergillus terreus; Genome; Sequence.
