Inonotus obliquus, Chaga mushroom, is a fungal species from Hymenochaetaceae family (Basidiomycota) which has been widely used for traditional medicine in Europe and Asia. Here, chaga genome was sequenced using Pacbio sequencing into a 50.7Mbp assembly consisting of 301 primary contigs with an N50 value of 375 kbp. Genome evolution analyses revealed a lineage-specific whole genome duplication event and an expansion of Cytochrome P450 superfamily. Fungal biosynthetic clusters were enriched for tandemly duplicated genes, suggesting that biosynthetic pathway evolution has proceeded through small-scale duplications. Metabolomic fingerprinting confirmed a highly complex terpene biosynthesis chemistry when compared against related fungal species lacking the genome duplication event.
