Marasmius tenuissimus isolate:GH-37 Genome sequencing and assembly

Thread blight disease (TBD) is a serious emerging threat to global cacao production, causing leaf blight symptoms and necrosis in the canopy of infected trees. Marasmius tenuissimus has been identified as the dominant causal agent of TBD in Ghanaian cacao plantations and has also been reported in remote organic cacao plantations in the Amazonas Department of Peru. Here we have assembled and annotated the nuclear genome of M. tenuissimus isolate GH-37.
