Abstract
Technological advancements in genome sequencing, assembly and annotation platforms and algorithms that resulted in several genomic studies
have created an opportunity to further our understanding of the biology of phytopathogens, including Armillaria species. Most Armillaria species
are facultative necrotrophs that cause root- and stem-rot, usually on woody plants, significantly impacting agriculture and forestry worldwide.
Genome sequencing, assembly and annotation in terms of samples used and methods applied in Armillaria genome projects are evaluated in this
review. Infographic guidelines and a database of resources to facilitate future Armillaria genome projects were developed. Knowledge gained
from genomic studies of Armillaria species is summarized and prospects for further research are provided. This guide can be applied to other
diploid and dikaryotic fungal genomics.
