Status

v1.0: The assembly release version 1.0 of whole genome shotgun reads was constructed with the JGI assembler, Jazz, using paired end sequencing reads at a coverage of ~7.96X. After trimming for vector and quality, 267,926 reads assembled into 58 main genome scaffolds totaling 21.9 MB. Roughly half of the genome is contained in 8 scaffolds all at least 1.2 MB in length. The v.1.0 assembly includes a total of 8616 gene models predicted and functionally annotated using the JGI annotation pipeline.
