Data on whole genome sequencing of the oomycete Pythium insidiosum strain CBS 101555 from a horse with pythiosis in Brazil.

Abstract: The oomycete Pythium insidiosum infects humans and animals worldwide, and causes the life-threatening condition, called pythosis. Most patients lose infected organs or die from the disease. Comparative genomic analyses of different P. insidiosum strains could provide new insights into its pathobiology, and can lead to discovery of an effective treatment method. Several draft genomes of P. insidiosum are publicly available: three from Asia (Thailand), and one each from North (the United States) and Central (Costa Rica) Americas. We report another draft genome of P. insidiosum isolated from South America (Brazil), to serve as a resource for comprehensive genomic studies. Methods: In this study, we report genome sequence of the P. insidiosum strain CBS 101555, isolated from a horse with pythiosis in Brazil. One paired-end (180-bp insert) library of processed genomic DNA was prepared for Illumina HiSeq 2500-based sequencing. Assembly of raw reads provided genome size of 48.9 Mb, comprising 60,602 contigs. A total of 23,254 genes were predicted and classified into 18,305 homologous gene clusters. Compared with the reference genome (the P. insidiosum strain Pi-S), 1,475,337 sequence variants (SNPs and INDELs) were identified in the organism. The genome sequence data has been deposited in DDBJ under the accession numbers BCFP01000001-BCFP01060602.

Summary

This research summary has been generated with artificial intelligence and may contain errors and omissions. Refer to the original study to confirm details provided. Submit correction.

The research is about sequencing the entire genome of the Pythium insidiosum strain CBS 101555, a microorganism that causes a deadly disease, pythiosis, in humans and animals. This particular strain is isolated from a horse in Brazil. Comparative genomic studies with existing genomes can potentially help understand the disease better and find an effective treatment.

Understanding Pythium insidiosum

  • Pythium insidiosum is an oomycete or water mold that is responsible for causing pythiosis in humans and animals.
  • The condition is serious, often leading to the loss of infected organs or even death in many cases.
  • Studying and comparing different P. insidiosum strains can provide insights into the pathobiology of the disease and possibly guide the discovery of effective treatment methods.

Current P. insidiosum genome data and the need for more

  • Presently, there are a few publicly available draft genomes of P. insidiosum. They are from North America (the United States), Central America (Costa Rica) and Asia (Thailand).
  • The researchers in this study have reported another draft genome, this time of a strain isolated from South America (Brazil). Having such diverse geographical information can lead to comprehensive genomic studies.

The genome sequencing process

  • The researchers prepared one paired-end library with a 180-bp insert from the genomic DNA of the P. insidiosum strain CBS 101555, which was isolated from a horse suffering from pythiosis in Brazil.
  • The sequencing was done using Illumina HiSeq 2500.
  • The assembly of raw reads provided a genome size of 48.9 Mb, comprised of 60,602 contigs.
  • In total, 23,254 genes were predicted and were classified into 18,305 homologous gene clusters.
  • When compared with the reference genome (P. insidiosum strain Pi-S), there were 1,475,337 sequence variants identified, which were made up of SNPs and INDELs.

Deposition of the genome sequence data

  • The genome sequence data that was produced from this research has been deposited in the DDBJ, with the accession numbers BCFP01000001-BCFP01060602.
  • This data will be beneficial for future research and comparative genomic studies aimed at better understanding the oomycete P. insidiosum and how it causes the disease pythiosis.
