Phytophthora parasitica Assembly and Gene Annotation

The oomycete Phytophthora parasitica is a very broad host range pathogen that causes destructive diseases of a wide variety of crop plants including tomato, pepper, potato, tobacco, cacao, banana, citrus, walnut, almond, a wide variety of nursery and ornamental plants, and forest ecosystems.

Genome sequencing was performed by the Phytophthora parasitica Assembly Dev initiative, Broad Institute and imported from the assembly submitted to INSDC as the WGS project ADVJ01000000.

Protein coding gene annotation was imported by that provided by the Phytophthora parasitica Assembly Dev initiative, Broad Institute.

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 2007); additional analysis tools have also been applied.
