The complete genome of "Candidatus Phytoplasma fraxini" AshY1, originating from Fraxinus americana in North America, was assembled using long reads from single-molecule real-time sequencing technology. The chromosome of 598 kb provides insights into the effector repertoire of a phytopathogenic bacterium from the 16SrVII phytoplasma group.
Keywords: 16SrVII; Fraxinus; genomics.
