Abstract
This article documents the public availability of genome sequence
data and assembled contigs representing the partial draft genome of
Ophiocordyceps bispora. As one of the few known pathogens of
fungus-farming termites, a draft genome of O. bispora represents the
opportunity to further the understanding of disease and resistance in
these complex termite societies. With the ongoing attempts to
resolve the taxonomy of the Hypocralaean family, more genetic data
will also help to shed light on the phylogenetic relationship between
sexual and asexual life stages. Next generation sequence data is
available from the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) under accession
PRJEB13655; run numbers: ERR1368522, ERR1368523, and
ERR1368524. Genome assembly available from ENA under accession numbers : FKNF01000001–FKNF01000302.
