More virulent and aggressive races of Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), the pathogen causing wheat stripe rust, have been spreading around the world since 2000 causing large grain yield losses. A better understanding of the genome and genetic diversity of these new Pst races will be useful to develop new strategies to ameliorate these losses. In this study, we generated an improved genome assembly of a post-2000 virulent race from the Western USA designated as PST-130. We implemented a haplotype phasing strategy using the diploid-aware assembler, Falcon-Unzip and new long-read technology from PacBio to phase the two genomes of this dikaryotic organism. The combination of these new technologies resulted in an improved PST-130 assembly with only 151 contigs (85.4 Mb, N50 of 1.44 Mb), and a complementary assembly (haplotigs) with 458 contigs (65.9 Mb, N50 of 0.235 Mb, PRJNA650506). This new assembly improved gene predictions resulting in 228 more predicted complete genes than in the initial Illumina assembly (29,178 contigs, N50 of 5 kb). The alignment of the non-repetitive primary and haplotig contigs revealed and average of 5.22 SNP/kb, with 39.1% showing <2 SNP/kb and 15.9% >10 SNP/kb. This large divergent regions may represent introgressions of chromosome segments from more divergent Pst races in regions where a complete sexual cycle and recombination are possible. We hypothesize that some of the divergent regions in PST-130 may be related to the European "Warrior" race PST-DK0911 because this genome is more similar to PST-130 (3.18 SNP/kb) than to the older European race PST-104E (3.75 SNP/kb). Complete phasing of additional Pst genomes or sequencing individual nuclei will facilitate the tracing of the haploid genomes introduced by the new Pst races into local populations.
