# De novo genome assembly of endophytic fungus Nemania diffusa strain YAFEF818, isolated from Artemisia argyi

## TL;DR

This paper presents the draft genome of the endophytic fungus Nemania diffusa YAFEF818, isolated from the plant Artemisia argyi.

## Contribution

The study provides a new de novo genome assembly for the endophytic fungus Nemania diffusa strain YAFEF818.

## Key findings

- The genome was assembled to a size of 55.63 Mb using Oxford Nanopore and Illumina sequencing.
- NECAT and Pilon were used for assembly and polishing, respectively.

## Abstract

Here, we report a draft genome sequence of endophytic fungus Nemania diffusa YAFEF818, isolated from Artemisia argyi. Oxford Nanopore Technologies PromethION and Illumina NovaSeq sequence reads were assembled using NECAT and polished using pilon to yield a 55.63 Mb genome.
