Genome assembly resource and annotation of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus TS-1, the causal agent of pine wilt disease

Pine wilt disease is a major biological disaster caused by Bursaphelenchus xylophilus. This study establishes a high-quality, and well-annotated genome sequence of B. xylophilus strain TS-1 from Mountain Tai of Shandong province, China. The 75-Mbp assembly containing six chromosomes was established. This genome data represents a new valuable resource for future studies on B. xylophilus and the management of pine wilt disease.
