Abstract
Pythium insidiosum 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 P. insidiosum Clade-I strain CDC-B5653 and Clade-II strain Pi-S are available in the public domain. The genome of P. insidiosum 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 P. insidiosum 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 P. insidiosum (accessible online at the Mendeley database: http://dx.doi.org/10.17632/r75799jy6c.1).

1. Data
Pythium insidiosum is a member of the oomycetes, a unique group of fungus-like microorganisms belonging to the Kingdom Stramenopiles [1]. P. insidiosum is distinguished from other oomycetes by its capacity to infect humans and animals [1], [2], [3]. The infectious condition called ‘pythiosis’ caused by this organism usually leads to life-long disability or death in affected individuals [2], [3], [4], [5]. Genome sequence is a powerful resource that can be used to explore an organism of interest at the molecular level. Two draft genomes of the P. insidiosum strains CDC-B5653 [6] and Pi-S [7] are available in the public domain. P. insidiosum can be divided into three distinct clades: Clade-I (strains from Americas); Clade-II (strains from Asia and Australia); and Clade–III (strains from Thailand and the United States) (Table 1; Fig. 1). The strain CDC-B5653 (labeled as Pi10) is placed in the Clade-I, whereas the strain Pi-S (labeled as Pi35) is placed in the Clade-II (Fig. 1). The genome of P. insidiosum from the distinct Clade-III, which is distantly-related to the other two clades, is lacking. Here, we report genome data of the P. insidiosum strain Pi45, isolated from a Thai patient and categorized as Clade-III (Fig. 1). We also report a genome-scale data set of sequence variants (i.e., SNPs and INDELs) found in P. insidiosum.

Eighteen strains of Pythium insidiosum used for generation of the rDNA-based phylogenetic tree. Strain identification numbers, reference numbers, host sources, geographic origins, assigned phylogenetically-distinct clades, and accession numbers of the rDNA sequences of all strains are summarized in the table. ‘*’ indicates the strains, including Pi45, where genome sequences are publically available.

Fig. 1.
Phylogenetic relationship of Pythium insidiosum: the rDNA-based maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree categorizes 18 strains of Pythium insidiosum into three distinct clades: Clade-I, Clade-II, and Clade-III. Description of each strain of P. insidiosum can be found in Table 1. The arrows indicate the strains [i.e., CDC-B5653 (labeled as Pi10) and Pi-S (labeled as Pi35)] where genome sequences are publically available, while the arrow head indicates the strain Pi45 where genome data is reported here. The rDNA sequence from Pythium granisporangium (accession number: AY151182) is included as an outgroup. Branch support values of greater than 70% are demonstrated at the nodes. Nucleotide substitution per site is shown at the bottom.
2. Experimental design, materials and methods
2.1. rDNA-based phylogenetic tree
rDNA sequences from the strain Pi45 and 17 other strains of P. insidiosum were retrieved from the NCBI database (Table 1). The rDNA sequence from Pythium grandisporangium (accession number: AY151182) served as an outgroup. All rDNA sequences were subjected to phylogenetic analysis, using an array of online tools at www.phylogeny.fr [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13].
2.2. Genome sequencing and assembly
Genomic DNA of the P. insidiosum strain Pi45 was extracted [14] and processed to prepare one paired-end library for genome sequencing, using the IlluminaHiSeq 2500 platform (Yourgene Bioscience, Taiwan). Raw reads underwent quality trimming (minimal read length, 35 bases) by CLC Genomics Workbench (http://www.clcbio.com/). Adaptor sequences were removed by Cutadapt 1.8.1 [15]. A total of 33,692,522 adaptor-removed, quality-validated reads, equivalent to 3,488,072,978 total bases, were subjected to genome assembly by Velvet 1.2.10 [16]. The assembled genome consisted of 65,230,783 bases (‘N’ composition, 0.6%) in 17,277 contigs (average length, 3776 bases; range, 300–209,930 bases; N50, 14,374 bases). Assessment of the resulting draft genome sequence by CEGMA [17], [18] showed 78.6% genome completeness. A total of 26,058 open reading frames were predicted by MAKER2 [19].
2.3. Identification of sequence variants
A total of 7,843,910 adaptor-removed quality-validated reads (23.3% of all reads), derived from the P. insidiosum strain Pi45, can be aligned to the reference genome of the P. insidiosum strain Pi-S [7], using the Burrows-Wheeler Alignment tool [20]. A total of 865,332 variants (i.e., SNPs and INDELs) were identified by FreeBayes [21].
2.4. Data accessibility
The draft genome sequence of the P. insidiosum strain Pi45 (also known as MCC13) has been deposited in the Data Bank of Japan (DDBJ) under the accession numbers: BCFM01000001-BCFM01017277. The sequence variant data (i.e., SNPs and INDELs) of the P. insidiosum strain Pi45 can be accessible online at the Mendeley database (http://dx.doi.org/10.17632/r75799jy6c.1).
