Colletotrichum graminicola Assembly and Gene Annotation

About *Colletotrichum graminicola *

Colletotrichum graminicola (teleomorph Glomerella graminicola) is the major cause of stalk rot of cereals or anthracnose in maize. Some varieties of engineered maize seem more susceptible to infection resulting in increasing economic concerns.

Assembly

The Colletotrichum graminicola (strain M1.001) genome was generated and assembled by the Broad Institute of MIT and released in September 2010 consisting of a whole-genome shotgun assembly with a size of 51.6 Mb.

Annotation

The assembly and protein coding gene annotation of the Colletotrichum graminicola genome was imported from the annotation submitted to EMBL-Bank as the WGS project ACOD00000000. Funding for the assembly and annotation was provided by the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) through the NSF/USDA Microbial Genome Sequencing Program.

Non-coding RNA genes have been annotated using tRNAScan-SE (Lowe, T.M. and Eddy, S.R. 1997), RFAM (Griffiths-Jones et al 2005), and RNAmmer (Lagesen K.,et al 2007); additional analysis tools have also been applied.
