Generating Complete Genome Assemblies of Candida auris.

Genomic studies of Candida auris are underpinned by the generation of high-quality genome assemblies. These reference genomes have been essential for investigations of the evolution and epidemiology of this emerging fungal pathogen. In addition to genomic epidemiology studies of local outbreaks and analysis of the global emergence of this species, comparisons of genomes of isolates from the five major clades have revealed differences in gene content and genomic structure. Here, we provide a detailed protocol for generating complete genome assemblies for C. auris.
