Sanghuangporus sanghuang, the generic type of Sanghuangporus belonging to Hymenochaetaceae, is a precious medicinal wood-inhabiting macrofungus with high commercial potential. To facilitate the medicinal utilization of this fungal resource, transcriptome sequences are newly generated from S. sanghuang strain MS2. In association with the previously generated genome sequences from the same strain by our lab and all available fungal homologous protein sequences in the UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot Protein Sequence Database, a new methodology was employed for genome assembly and annotation. A total of 13,531 protein-coding genes were identified from the new version of the genome of S. sanghuang strain MS2 with a complete BUSCOs of 92.8%, which indicates a remarkable improvement in the accuracy and completeness of the genome assembly. In general, more genes involved in medicinal functions were annotated compared with the original version of the genome annotation, and most of these genes were also found in the transcriptome data of the currently sampled growth period. Given the above, the current genomic and transcriptomic data provides valuable insights into the evolution and metabolites analysis of S. sanghuang.
