Fusarium graminearum PH-1 Genome sequencing and assembly. Fusarium graminearum PH-1

The Broad Institute and the International Gibberella zeae Genomics Consortium collaborated to sequence the Gibberella zeae (aka Fusarium graminearum) strain PH-1 genome at approximately 10X coverage using whole genome shotgun (WGS) sequencing. Version 2 of the WGS project consists of 433 nuclear genome contigs in 31 scaffolds, and two mitochondrial contigs/scaffolds. The genome assembly was annotated using automated gene prediction tools, and the assembly was integrated with existing genetic maps.
