Neurospora crassa OR74A Genome sequencing
Note: Project 40071 is part of Project 13841.  It was created to reference SRA data specifically for an ALLPATHS2 publication.  Users should reference 13841 as it is synonymous with 40071.  The <a href="http://www.broad.mit.edu/annotation/fungi/neurospora/">Broad Institute</a> is sequencing the <i>Neurospora crassa</i> strain OR74A genome at low coverage using whole genome shotgun (WGS) sequencing.   To test methods for assembly of very short reads, five microbial genomes were selected that had a finished reference sequence available. At least two libraries (short fragment and jumping) were generated and sequenced using Illumina. The <i>Neurospora crassa</i> strain OR74A is one of these five microbial genomes.
