Microbiol Resour Announc. 2023 Jul 18;12(7):e0009323. doi: 10.1128/mra.00093-23. Epub 2023 Jun 26.

Abstract

Ophidiomyces ophidiicola is a globally distributed fungal pathogen of snakes. This study reports genome assemblies for three novel isolates that were derived from hosts originating in the United States, Germany, and Canada. The assemblies have a mean length of 21.4 Mbp, with coverage of 116.7×, and will contribute to wildlife disease research.
