Pyrenophora teres (GCA_000166005.1)

Pyrenophora teres Assembly and Gene Annotation

About Pyrenophora teres

Pyrenophora teres is the major cause of 'net blotch' of barley. It exists in two forms, P. teres f. teres and P. teres f. maculata which causes net form net blotch and spot form net blotch respectively. This assembly corresponds to the P. teres. f teres form of the plant pathogen, the one subjected to most studies so far.

Assembly

The Pyrenophora teres f. teres (strain 0-1) genome was assembled by the Curtin University in Australia from paired end Solexa reads. The final genome assembly size is 33.58 Mb with a 20X read depth.

Annotation

The assembly and protein coding gene annotation of the Pyrenophora teres f. teres genome, which was also performed at the Curtin University in Australia, was imported from the annotation submitted to EMBL-Bank as the WGS project AEEY00000000.

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.
