Abstract Objectives Cladosporium tenuissimum, a widespread filamentous fungus belonging to the C. cladosporioides species complex, has been identified as a causal agent of sooty spot disease on postharvest fig fruits. Despite its ecological and agricultural importance, genomic resources for this species remain limited. Here, I report a draft genome sequence of C. tenuissimum strain SHK1100, isolated from symptomatic fig fruits in Japan, to facilitate comparative and functional genomic studies. Data description The draft genome was assembled using long-read sequencing data, resulting in a total assembly length of 32.8 Mb, composed of 58 contigs with an N50 of 1.92 Mb and L50 of 8. The genome completeness of the assembly reached 98.0% in Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Orthologs analysis with no contamination. In total, 12,016 protein-coding genes were predicted in the assembled genome. Functional annotation assigned putative functions to a large proportion of predicted genes, including annotations for 77.1% of genes into Clusters of Orthologous Groups, 33.7% of genes using Gene Ontology, and 21.6% of genes as putative effectors. This draft genome provides a foundation for understanding the pathogenic mechanisms and secondary metabolite biosynthesis of Cladosporium species associated with plant diseases.
