Omphalotus guepiniiformis, a bioluminescent mushroom species, is a source of the potentially valuable anticancer chemical. To provide genome information, we de novo assembled the high-quality O. guepiniiformis genome using two Next-Generation sequencing techniques, PacBio and Illumina sequencing. Our draft O. guepiniiformis genome comprises 42.5 Mbp of sequence with only 80 contigs and an N50 sequence length of over 1 Mbp. There were 15,554 predicted coding genes, and 7693 genes were functionally annotated with Gene Ontology terms. We performed a genomic study focusing on mushroom bioluminescent pathway cluster genes by comparing 17 luminescent and 23 non-luminescent Agaricales species belonging to 23 genera. Synteny analysis of genomic regions near the luminescent pathway cluster genes inferred that the Omphalotus lineage was genus-specific. In summary, our de novo assembled O. guepiniiformis genome provides significant biological insights into this organism, including the evolution of the luciferase gene block, and forms the basis for future analyses.
