# Genome resource announcement of a Leptodophora sp. fungus isolated from roots of broadleaf plants in Wisconsin, USA

## TL;DR

This paper announces the genome of a fungus found in plant roots in Wisconsin, including details about its genetic makeup and potential toxin production.

## Contribution

The paper provides a new genome sequence for a Leptodophora sp. fungus with high proteome completeness and identifies secondary metabolism gene clusters.

## Key findings

- The genome consists of 21 contigs with 75.14 mega-base pairs and encodes 19,447 proteins.
- The fungus has a 98.4% BUSCO proteome completeness score.
- The genome contains 55 secondary metabolism gene clusters, including those for producing potential toxins.

## Abstract

We report whole genome sequences of a plant root-associated fungus Leptodophora sp., consisting of 21 contigs representing 75.14 mega-base pairs genome encoding 19,447 proteins, with 98.4% BUSCO proteome completeness score. Secondary metabolism genes constitute 55 clusters. This species likely synthesizes toxic alternapyrone, 6-methylsalicylic acid, and fusarin.
