Fusarium poae whole genome sequencing and assembly
Fusarium poae is a non-aggressive generalist plant pathogen commonly detected in FHB surveys of wheat, barley and oats. F. poae populations are understood to exhibit diverse trichothecene production and have genomes containing highly polymorphic and dynamic accessory chromosomes. This project contains reads and assemblies from F. poae isolates cultured from Canadian FHB surveys, as well as some isolates revived from historical collections at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (Ottawa Research and Development Centre). The purpose of the project is to develop our understanding of population structure through whole-genome analysis, and to build a database of genomes for researchers to access.
