## TL;DR

This paper presents the draft genome sequence of the entomopathogenic fungus Amphichorda felina using a combination of short and long-read sequencing technologies.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality hybrid genome assembly for Amphichorda felina, improving on previous fragmented data.

## Key findings

- The hybrid assembly produced a genome of approximately 29.6 Mb with 9 scaffolds.
- The N50 value of the assembly is 3.28 Mb, indicating a high level of contiguity.

## Abstract

An entomopathogenic fungus, Amphichorda felina (formerly classified as Beauveria felina), was sequenced through Illumina MiSeq short reads and Oxford Nanopore long reads. The hybrid assembly resulted in a genome of approximately 29.6 Mb with 9 scaffolds and an N50 of 3.28 Mb.

## Linked entities
