Genome update of Botrytis cinerea strains B05.10 and T4

Eukaryot Cell. 2012 Nov;11(11):1413-4. doi: 10.1128/EC.00164-12.

Abstract

We report here an update of the Botrytis cinerea strains B05.10 and T4 genomes, as well as an automated preliminary gene structure annotation. High-coverage de novo assemblies and reference-based alignments led to a correction of wrong base calls, elimination of sequence gaps, and improved joining of contigs. The new assemblies have substantially lower numbers of scaffolds and a concomitant increase in the N(50).The list of protein-coding genes was generated using the evidence-driven gene predictor Augustus, with expressed sequence tag evidence and RNA-Seq data as input.
