Abstract
We present a telomere-to-telomere genome assembly of Talaromyces purpureogenus strain ISA502, isolated from the maize rhizosphere. The 30.33 Mb genome, assembled using hybrid sequencing, comprises 8 chromosomes with 99% BUSCO completeness, offering improved resolution over existing fragmented genomes and advancing studies on its ecological and biotechnological significance.
Genes, proteins, chemicals, diseases, species, mutations and cell lines named across the full text — each resolved to its canonical identifier and authoritative record.
