Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis Assembly and Gene Annotation

About Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis

Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis is a species from the family Peronosporaceae. It is an obligate parasite and the causal agent of the downy mildew of the plant model organism Arabidopsis thaliana. While H. arabidopsidis has for a long time been subsumed under Peronospora parasitica, recent studies have shown that H. parasitica is restricted to Capsella bursa-pastoris as a host plant. Like the other Hyaloperonospora species, H. arabidopsidis is highly specialized to Arabidopsis thaliana.

Assembly

The genome assembly is available from the EMBL/Genbank/DDBJ databases under the accession GCA_000173235.2.

Annotation

The protein coding genes in this site are a direct import of annotation available at VBI Microbial database( V8.3.2). Non coding RNA genes have been annotated using tRNAScan-SE (Lowe, T.M. and Eddy, S.R. 1997), RFAM (Griffiths-Jones et al 2005), and RNAmmer (Lagesen K.,et al 007); additional analysis tools have also been applied.
