Whole genome sequencing and genome annotation of the Pisolithus tinctorius

Pisolithus tinctorius is a species of edible ectomycorrhizal fungi with medicinal properties that widely distributed around the world. The gene annotation of protein coding genes was used to obtain corresponding annotations by blastp. The Pisolithus tinctorius genome encodes a repertoire of enzymes engaged in carbohydrate and polysaccharide metabolism, along with cytochrome P450s and secondary metabolite biosynthesis. The genome content of Pisolithus tinctorius provides insights into the genetic basis of its reported medicinal properties and serves as a reference for comparative genomics of fungi.
