Table 1_Genome analysis of Ceratobasidium theobromae and its causal association with cassa

53.2 KB of genomic analysis data supporting the causal association of the fungus Ceratobasidium theobromae with Cassava Witches' Broom Disease (CWBD) in the Philippines. The dataset includes results from field surveys showing disease incidence above 50% and PCR assays with 91.79% sensitivity and 95.24% specificity. It was authored by Cris Q. Cortaga and last updated on 2026-04-17.

Use Cases

• Comparative genomics of Ceratobasidium theobromae isolates based on the improved reference genome mentioned in the description
• Assessing the causal association of a fungal pathogen with a plant disease based on PCR detection sensitivity and specificity data
• Analyzing the geographic distribution and relatedness of fungal isolates from the Philippines, continental Southeast Asia, and the Americas
• Evaluating disease incidence and spread in cassava-growing regions based on field survey results

Strengths

• Includes specific performance metrics for the diagnostic PCR assay: 91.79% sensitivity and 95.24% specificity
• Field survey data indicates disease incidence values above 50% across all surveyed cassava-growing regions
• Dataset is openly available under a CC-BY-4.0 license
• Last updated on 2026-04-17, suggesting recent maintenance

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Dataset size is 53.2 KB, indicating a very limited scope
