Whole-Genome Sequencing and In Silico Analysis of Two Strains of Sporothrix globosa

Abstract

Sporothrix globosa is a thermo-dimorphic fungus belonging to a pathogenic clade that also includes Sporothrix schenckii, which causes human and animal sporotrichosis. Here, we present the first genome assemblies of two S. globosa strains providing data for future comparative genomic studies in pathogenic Sporothrix species.

Keywords: Next generation sequencing; Sporothrix globosa; Sporothrix schenckii; Sporotrichosis; de novo assembly.
