DATA AVAILABILITY : This Whole Genome Shotgun project has been deposited at DDBJ/ENA/GenBank
under the accession JAULBG000000000. The version described in this paper is version
JAULBG010000000. Raw sequence data are available at NCBI SRA under project number
PRJNA994555. Sequences of TEF1- and RPB2 are deposited in GenBank under accession
numbers OR338330 and OR338331.The draft genome of Neonectria faginata was sequenced with Oxford Nanopore and Illumina 250 bp paired-end sequencing technologies. The assembled genome was 42.9 Mb distributed over 24 contigs, with N50 of 4.4 Mb and 98.6% BUSCO completeness. This genome sequence will aid in understanding N. faginata population structure and ecology.Partial funding was provided by the New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station. Supported by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture McIntire-Stennis, the state of New Hampshire and a USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture postdoctoral fellowship.https://journals.asm.org/journal/mrahj2024BiochemistryForestry and Agricultural Biotechnology Institute (FABI)GeneticsMicrobiology and Plant PathologyNon
