Zymoseptoria tritici IPO323 genome reannotation

Here, we used the reference genome of the major fungal wheat pathogen Zymoseptoria tritici (isolate IPO323) as a case study to develop methods to improve eukaryotic gene prediction.The selection of the best structure among novel and existing gene models was performed according to transcript and protein evidence using InGenAnnot, a novel bioinformatics suite. Overall, 13,414 re-annotated gene models (RGMs) were predicted, including 671 new genes among which 53 encoded effector candidates. Genome annotations are provided in gff3 files and functional annotations in tsv file.
