Genome sequence of Hemileia vastatrix Berk. and Br. (Race I), the causal agent of coffee leaf rust, isolate from Risaralda, Colombia.

Coffee leaf rust, caused by the fungus Hemileia vastatrix (Basidiomycota; Pucciniomycota), is a devastating disease spread worldwide. To improve the available genomes, we use PacBio HiFi sequencing enhanced by Dovetail Omni-C chromatin conformation capture to assemble a highly contiguous 747.98 Mb genome of an isolate collected from Coffea arabica.
