Subject area	Biology
More specific subject area	Microbiology, Genomics
Type of data	Genome sequence, Sequence variants, Phylogenetic relationship
How data was acquired	IlluminaHiSeq 2500 Next Generation Sequencing Platform
Data format	Assembled genome sequence, Sequence variants [i.e., single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and small insertions and deletions (INDELs)], Phylogenetic tree
Experimental factors	Genomic DNA was extracted from the Pythium insidiosum strain Pi45, which is categorized in the phylogenetically-distinct clade-III.
Experimental features	A rDNA-based phylogenetic tree of P. insidiosum was generated. Genome of the P. insidiosum strain Pi45 was sequenced and assembled. The reference genome sequence of the P. insidiosum strain Pi-S was mapped with sequence reads from the P. insidiosum strain Pi45 to identify SNPs and INDELs.
Data source location	The organism was isolated from a patient with pythiosis in Thailand.
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 is accessible online at the Mendeley database (http://dx.doi.org/10.17632/r75799jy6c.1).
