Aspergillus flavus NRRL 3357 sequencing
The purpose of this project is to re-sequence, re-assemble, and re-annotate Aspergillus flavus strain NRRL 3357. The new genome assembly will facilitate the development of high-throughput genetic tools for this important fungus, which causes significant crop loss due to aflatoxin contamination and causes aspergillosis in immunocompromised human patients.
