Description
Zongliang Duan and co-authors publish the first draft genome of a medicinal fungus from China's Gaoligong Mountains, in this 2025 data paper. Local communities have long used the fungus, Rigidoporus glomeratus, as a traditional remedy. Its fruiting body holds many valued compounds, from polyphenols to steroids. Yet almost no gene-level information existed for the species, which slowed study of how it makes those compounds.
The team read the full genome of one mountain strain using two sequencing methods together. Long reads and short reads were combined to build a fuller draft than either alone could give. The paper reports the assembly and its basic traits as a public record. Other researchers can now mine the genome for genes behind the fungus's prized chemistry.
