Project Status
Pythium ultimum Whole Genome Sequencing
- Draft assembly of strain DAOM BR144 is available for the community. Click here for access to the data.
- Fosmid library sequenced from second P. ultimum strain (DAOM BR748 =CBS 398.51), the neotype strain by the J Craig Venter Institute Joint Technology Center
Pythium ultimum EST Sequencing
- We have generated Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs) from Pythium ultimum DAOM BR144 (=ATCC 200006 = CBS 805.95). RNA was isolated from nutrient-rich and nutrient-limiting grown hyphae and a normalized cDNA population was constructed. A total of 9,578 reads were generated using Sanger sequencing methods.
- The Sanger derived ESTs have been assembled into a Transcript Assembly and are available through the Comprehensive Phytopathogen Genome Resource Transcript Assemblies Project.
The Pythium ultimum EST Sequencing was supported by the USDA National Research Initiative Cooperative State Research Extension Education Service (grant 2006-55605-16645)
