Hericium coralloides strain:tvtc0002 Genome sequencing and assembly. Hericium coralloides strain:tvtc0002

As a traditional Chinese medicine, The fruiting bodies and mycelia of Hericium coralloides contain many bioactive compounds, such as hericidin, etc. H. coralloides is a white fleshy and coral-like fungus，which unique shape is not similar to the other species of Hericium. In Asia H. coralloides is an important medical and edible mushroom, but the genome of H. coralloides has not yet been sequenced. De novo sequencing will detect the biosynthesis pathway of the bioactive compounds. Furthermore, de novo sequencing will investigate the evolutionary process of H. coralloides. According to the life history of H. coralloides, de novo sequencing will discover the molecular mechanism from spore to fruiting body.
