Draft genome sequence data of Chen 4, the causal pathogen of deodar cedar root rot.

species are distributed globally, with certain members playing significant roles as plant and animal pathogens. Chen 4 has been identified as a pathogenic isolate responsible for causing root rot on . Here, a comprehensive genome-wide sequence of strain Chen 4 utilizing the Illumina NovaSeq sequencing platform and a Pacific Biosciences Sequel sequencing platform is presented. The genome of strain Chen 4 was assembled into 150 contigs containing a combined size of 41.25 Mb, N50 value of 1,717,859 bp and N90 value of 431,829 bp. Genome annotation revealed 14,077 protein-encoding genes and 364 of the 1016 predicted proteins were putative effectors. The present work enriches the genetic resources of for studying its evolution and can contribute to a better understanding of -host interaction.
