title: IMA Genome-F 1: Ceratocystis fimbriata: Draft nuclear genome sequence for the plant pathogen, Ceratocystis fimbriata.
abstract: The draft nuclear genome of Ceratocystis fimbriata, the type species of Ceratocystis, is comprised of 29 410 862 bp. De novo gene prediction produced 7 266 genes, which is low for an ascomycete fungus. The availability of the genome provides opportunities to study aspects of the biology of this and other Ceratocystis species.
