Draft genome sequence CR-NGP1 strain of ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ (CLas) from the host Citrus reticulata (Nagpur mandarin) from Central India
摘要
Huanglongbing (HLB, ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’) is one of the most devastating pathogens in citrus domain. Here, we present the nearly complete genome sequence of a CR-NGP1 strain obtained a from symptomatic Nagpur Mandarin (Citrus reticulata) tree in the Nagpur region of Central India. High-throughput sequencing on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform generated ~ 85.7 million paired-end reads, 63.5 million paired-end reads and 14.8 million paired-end reads for sample CLas_001, CLas_002 and CLas_003 each with 150 bp read length, respectively. Two assembly strategies were used: (i) reference-based assembly with SPAdes produced a draft genome of ~ 1.19 Mb with assembly comprised 149 contigs, with an N50 of 14,173 bp, longest contig of 39,711 bp, and an overall GC content of 36.27%. (ii) KBase CONCOCT binning v1.1 applied to all 3 samples produced a nearly complete CR-NGP1 genome of ~ 1,156,009 bases with assembly of 93 contig, with an N50 of 17,668 bp, a longest contig of 39,711 bp, and an overall GC content of 36.4%. This resource of a CLas genome from Central India provides important insights to understand genetic diversity of CLas strains and will facilitate comparative genomics and epidemiological studies of Huanglongbing.
