Fusarium pseudograminearum Assembly and Gene Annotation

The fungal pathogen Fusarium pseudograminearum causes Crown Rot of Wheat.

The genome assembly and protein coding genome annotation was carried out by CSIRO Transformational Biology Capability Platform and submitted to[ INSDC as assembly GCA_000303195.1.

Genes models were imported from ENA under the assembly accession number GCA_000303195.1.

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.
