C. higginsianum was sequenced under the direction of Dr. Richard J. O'Connell, with funding from the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research, Cologne, Germany, and is available from the Broad Institute Colletotrichum Database. The genome assembly was imported from that submitted to INSDC as GCA_000313795.2.

Protein coding gene models were imported from the annotation submitted to INSDC GCA_000313795.2.

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.
