Fasta and Gff3 files of the draft genome of Talaromyces trachyspermus

The data belonged to the fungus Talaromyces trachyspermus, a biocontrol fungus. The raw Illumina paired-end reads (150 bp) underwent quality control and preprocessing steps in the CLC Genomics Workbench (version 20, Qiagen). A <i>de novo</i> assembly was performed on the resulting reads in the CLC Genomics Workbench with the following parameters: automatic word size and bubble size detection, minimum contig length of 200 bp, and scaffolding enabled with automatic detection of paired-end distances. Default settings were used for all other parameters. The resulting assembly was further evaluated based on N50, genome length, GC content, and BUSCO completeness scores. This Whole Genome Shotgun project has been deposited at DDBJ/ENA/GenBank under the accession JBNAEF000000000. The version described in this paper is version JBNAEF010000000. The associated BioProject and BioSample accessions are PRJNA1243591 and SAMN47626500, respectively. The percentage of repetitive sequences in the genome was identified using the Red repeat masking pipeline (Red, version 2018.09.10, Girgis, 2015) available on the Galaxy web-based analysis platform. As a gene prediction tool on the Galaxy platform, Augustus was used to predict protein-coding genes in both the studied draft genome and the reference genome.
