The fungus spread quickly thoroughout the country and threatened other wheat growing areas in neighbouring countries. Islam <i>et al </i>(BMC Biology 2016 14:84<strong>, </strong>DOI<strong>: </strong>10.1186/s12915-016-0309-7) collected infected wheat samples, extracted RNA, and obtained short reads by Illumina RNA-Seq technology. Here, we report assemby of these short reads using Trinity v 2.0.6.<br>
