Assembly

The Sporisorium reilianum (strain SRZ2) genome was generated and assembled at 454 Life Sciences and released in December 2010 using the Genome Sequencer 20 (Roche) and the Genome Sequencer FLX (Roche). 99.75% of the genome assembly was organised into 23 chromosomes using Optical Mapping.

Annotation

The protein coding gene annotation of the Sporisorium reilianum genome (generated by the Munich Information Center for Protein Sequences) was imported from the annotation submitted to EMBL-Bank as the assembly project GCA_000230245.

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.
