Draft genome sequence of the griseofulvin-producing fungus Xylaria flabelliformis strain G536

The draft genome of the ascomycete fungus Xylaria flabelliformis (formally known as X. cubensis) was sequenced using Illumina paired-end technology. The assembled genome is 41.2 Mb in length and contains 11,404 genes. This genome will contribute to our understanding of X. flabelliformis secondary metabolism and the organism’s ability to live as a decomposer as well as an endosymbiont.
