Draft genome sequence of the fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense tropical race 4 (MC3) isolated in Amazonas, Peru

Objectives: This study presents the genome sequencing of the MC3 strain of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense tropical race 4 (Foc TR4), isolated from damaged banana ( Musa sp.) tissue from the city of Bagua, Amazonas, Peru. The aim was to characterize the genome to understand the resistance and virulence potential of the isolate. Data description: The genomic DNA of the MC3 strain of Foc TR4 was sequenced using the Illumina platform, generating high-quality reads with an average genome coverage of 150×. Quality control was performed with FastQC, and the reads were preprocessed with Trimmomatic. De novo assembly was carried out with MaSuRCA, resulting in a draft genome of 45,518,950 bp assembled into 439 contigs with a GC content of 47.71%. Genome quality analysis revealed 99.2% completeness and 0.8% contamination.
