Complete genome of Xanthomonas citri pv. anacardii strain CCRMTAQ13 (causal agent of angular leaf spot in cashew) from Brazil using long-read Nanopore technology

Here, we present a single contiguous genome sequence of Xanthomonas citri pv. anacardii (Xca; strain CCRMTAQ13), the causal agent of angular leaf spot in cashew, an important commodity crop in Brazil. Oxford Nanopore Sequencing Technology was used to assemble the genome of the Xca in a single contig of 5,086,757 bp with a 64.53% GC content. This genome sequence will provide a useful resource for studies on virulence mechanisms, including the identification of a single transcription activator-like effector gene of 3,359 bp.
