The heterothallic ascomycete Setosphaeria turcica (anamorph Exserohilum turcicum) causes northern corn leaf blight, which results in devastating yield losses and a reduction in feed value. Although genome sequences of two model strains of the pathogen are available (https://mycocosm.jgi.doe.gov/mycocosm/home), previous drafts were assembled using short read technologies, making evolutionary and genetic linkage inferences difficult. Here, race 23N of S. turcica strain Et28A was sequenced again using Illumina HiSeq and PacBio Sequel technologies, and assembled to approximately 43,480,261 bp on 30 scaffolds. In all, 13,183 protein-coding genes were predicted, 13,142 of them were well annotated. This S. turcica genome resource is important for understanding the genetics behind pathogen evolution and infection mechanisms.

玉米（Setosphaeria turcica）的基因组资源，玉米北部叶枯病的病原体。

杂虫子囊菌（Setosphaeria turcica）（变型Exserohilum turcicum）引起北部玉米叶枯萎病，导致毁灭性的产量损失和饲料价值下降。尽管可以使用两种病原体模型菌株的基因组序列（https://mycocosm.jgi.doe.gov/mycocosm/home），但以前的草稿是使用短读技术组装而成的，因此很难进行进化和遗传连锁推论。在这里，使用Illumina HiSeq和PacBio Sequel技术再次对S. turcica菌株Et28A的23N种进行测序，并在30个支架上组装至约43,480,261 bp。预测了13183个蛋白质编码基因，其中有13142个注释正确。turcica基因组资源对于了解病原体进化和感染机制背后的遗传学非常重要。
