Telomere to telomere genome assembly of Fusarium musae F31, causal agent of crown rot disease of banana

Fusarium musae van Hove causes crown rot of banana and it is also associated to clinical fusariosis. A chromosome-level genome assembly of Fusarium musae F31 obtained combining Nanopore long reads and Illumina paired end reads resulted in 12 chromosomes plus one contig with overall N50 of 4.36 Mb, and is presented together with its mitochondrial genome (58072 bp). F31 genome includes telomeric regions for 11 of the 12 chromosomes representing the most complete genome available in the Fusarium fujikuroi species complex. The high-quality assembly of the F31 genome will be a valuable resource for studying the pathogenic interactions occurring between F. musae and banana. Moreover, it represents an important resource for understanding the genome evolution in the Fusarium fujikuroi species complex.
