Coffee leaf rust, caused by the fungus Hemileia vastatrix (Basidiomycota; Pucciniomycota) , is a devastating disease spread worldwide. To improve the available genomes, we use PacBio HiFi sequencing enhanced by Dovetail Omni-C chromatin conformation capture to assemble a highly contiguous 747.98 Mb genome of an isolate collected from Coffea arabica .
