Tilletia maclaganii is a smut fungal pathogen that causes significant biomass reduction of switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) used for animal forage and biofuel production. Here we present the annotated genome of T. maclaganii, strain Tm001-NY21, estimated at 42.79 Mb in size, in 53 assembled contigs and encoding 10,235 predicted genes. This genome will be important for future comparative studies of Ustilaginales across its geographic and host range.
