Ramulariopsis gossypii Whole Genome Sequence for Cotton Areolate Mildew Research

Iago Schardong sequenced and assembled the genome of the fungal pathogen Ramulariopsis gossypii, a causal agent of areolate mildew in cotton. The dataset is 1.3 GB and includes files in GFF3 and FASTA formats. It was last updated on 2026-05-15 and is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Comparative genomics analysis based on the newly sequenced R. gossypii genome and the published R. pseudoglycines genome.
• Phylogenetic studies of causal species based on genomic data for Ramulariopsis gossypii.
• Host-pathogen interaction research based on the genome of a major cotton disease agent.

Strengths

• The genome assembly provides data for a key pathogen species where a genome was previously unavailable.
• The dataset is 1.3 GB, indicating a substantial genomic data release.
• Data is provided in standard bioinformatics formats (GFF3, FASTA).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for some analyses.
