Draft genome and sequence variant data of the oomycete strain Pi45 from the phylogenetically-distinct Clade-III.

is a unique oomycete microorganism, capable of infecting humans and animals. The organism can be phylogenetically categorized into three distinct clades: Clade-I (strains from the Americas); Clade-II (strains from Asia and Australia), and Clade-III (strains from Thailand and the United States). Two draft genomes of the Clade-I strain CDC-B5653 and Clade-II strain Pi-S are available in the public domain. The genome of from the distinct Clade-III, which is distantly-related to the other two clades, is lacking. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of the strain Pi45 (also known as MCC13; isolated from a Thai patient with pythiosis; accession numbers BCFM01000001-BCFM01017277) as a representative strain of the phylogenetically-distinct Clade-III. We also report a genome-scale data set of sequence variants (i.e., SNPs and INDELs) found in (accessible online at the Mendeley database: http://dx.doi.org/10.17632/r75799jy6c.1).
