Draft Genome of Schizophyllum sp. strain F4_1A, a novel white-rot fungus isolated in Gauteng, South Africa

This dataset contains the draft genome assembly and functional annotation data for Schizophyllum sp. strain F4_1A, a white-rot fungus isolated from the Gauteng Province, South Africa. The genome was annotated using a combination of tools, including Funannotate v1.8.9 for gene prediction, antiSMASH v7.0 for biosynthetic gene cluster identification, and SignalP v6.0 for signal peptide prediction. The dataset includes details of predicted biosynthetic pathways, secondary metabolite gene clusters, and potential secretory proteins, providing insight into the metabolic capabilities and ecological roles of this fungal strain. The full annotation data is provided, including gene models, functional annotations, and biosynthetic gene cluster predictions, along with corresponding outputs from each annotation tool.This resource may be useful for researchers studying fungal metabolism, lignin degradation, and secondary metabolite production in basidiomycetes.
