Phytophthora kernoviae Assembly and Gene Annotation

Phytophthora kernoviae is a plant pathogen that mainly infects European beech (Fagus sylvatica) and Rhododendron ponticum.

Genome sequencing was carried out by the University of Exeter and Science and Advice for Scottish Agriculture (SASA). The genome assembly provided was imported from that submitted to INSDC as AOFI00000000.

Protein coding gene annotation was done by the University of Exeter and Science and Advice for Scottish Agriculture (SASA) and the data was provided by Exeter Centre for Emerging Plant Disease.

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.
