Draft genome sequences of seven isolates of Phytophthora ramorum EU2 from Northern Ireland.

Published onlineHere we present draft-quality genome sequence assemblies for the oomycete Phytophthora ramorum genetic lineage EU2. We sequenced genomes of seven isolates collected in Northern Ireland between 2010 and 2012. Multiple genome sequences from P. ramorum EU2 will be valuable for identifying genetic variation within the clonal lineage that can be useful for tracking its spread.Work in the laboratory of DJS is supported by the BBSRC (BB/ L012499/1 and Nornex). Sequencing was performed by the Exeter Sequencing Service at the University of Exeter, which is supported by Wellcome Trust Institutional Strategic Support Fund (WT097835MF), Wellcome Trust Multi-User Equipment Award (WT101650MA) and BBSRC LOLA award (BB/K003240/1).
