Aspergillus restrictus is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus. It is from the Restricti section.[2] The species was first described in 1931.[3] It is xerophilic, frequently found in house dust. Studies have suggested that it is an allergen implicated in asthma.[4][5] The genome of A. restrictus was in 2016 sequenced as a part of the Aspergillus whole-genome sequencing project - a project dedicated to performing whole-genome sequencing of all members of the Aspergillus genus.[6] The genome assembly size was 23.26 Mbp.Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name (see the help page).
