Abstract
The genomes of fungi provide an important resource to resolve issues pertaining to their taxonomy,
biology, and evolution. The genomes of Amanita jacksonii, Ceratocystis albifundus, a Fusarium circinatum
variant, Huntiella omanensis, Leptographium procerum, Sclerotinia echinophila, and Rutstroemia sydowiana
are presented in this genome announcement. These seven genomes are from a number of fungal pathogens
and economically important species. The genome sizes range from 27 Mb in the case of Ceratocystis
albifundus to 51.9 Mb for Rutstroemia sydowiana. The latter also encodes for a predicted 17 350 genes,
more than double that of Ceratocystis albifundus. These genomes will add to the growing body of knowledge
of these fungi and provide a value resource to researchers studying these fungi.
