Supplementary Data for: ONT-based draft genome for Alternaria atra

<p>Species of <em>Alternaria</em> (phylum <em>Ascomycota</em>, family <em>Pleosporaceae</em>) are known as serious plant pathogens, causing major losses on a wide range of crops. <em>Alternaria atra</em><em> (Preuss) Woudenb. &amp; Crous </em>(previously known as <em>Ulocladium atrum</em><em>) </em>can grow as a saprophyte on many hosts and causes<em> </em>Ulocladium blight on potato. It has been reported that it can also be used as a biocontrol agent against a.o. <em>Botrytis cinerea.</em></p> <p>Here we present a scaffold-level reference genome assembly for<em> A. atra.</em> The assembly contains 43 scaffolds with a total length of 39.62 Mbp, with scaffold N50 of 3,893,166 bp , L50 of 4 and the longest 10 scaffolds containing 89.9% of the assembled data. RNA Seq-guided, gene prediction using BRAKER resulted in 12,173 protein-coding genes with their functional annotation.</p>
