Chromosome level assembly and secondary metabolite potential of the parasitic fungus Cordyceps militaris

Chromosome level assembly and secondary metabolite potential of the parasitic fungus Cordyceps militaris

Abstract Background Cordyceps militaris is an insect pathogenic fungus that is prized for its use in traditional medicine. This and other entomopathogenic fungi are understudied sources for the discovery of new bioactive molecules. In this study, PacBio SMRT long read sequencing technology was used...
