Phytophthora ramorum Assembly and Gene Annotation

About Phytophthora ramorum

Phytophthora ramorum is the oomycete known to cause the disease sudden oak death (SOD). The disease kills oak and other species of trees and has had devastating effects on the oak populations in California and Oregon, as well as being present in Europe. Symptoms include bleeding cankers on the tree's trunk and dieback of the foliage, in many cases leading to the death of the tree.

Assembly

The genome was assembled by JGI and is available from the EMBL/Genbank/DDBJ databases under the accession GCA_000149735.1

Annotation

The protein coding genes in this site were imported from JGI. The data was imported in December 2010. The ncRNAs were predicted using the Ensembl pipeline.
