The oomycete Phytophthora capsici is a common pathogen of the Solanaceae and Cucurbitaceae families. An improved assembly for the reference isolate LT1534 was constructed using Oxford Nanopore Technologies and Illumina data. Additionally, an unpolished assembly was produced for the European isolate Pc285 collected on chili pepper using Oxford Nanopore reads.
