Genome update of Botrytis cenerea strains B05.10 and T4

We report here an update of the Botrytis cinerea strains B05.10 and T4 genomes, as well as an automated preliminary gene structure annotation. High-coverage de novo assemblies and reference-based alignments led to a correction of wrong base calls, elimination of sequence gaps, and improved joining of contigs. The new assemblies have substantially lower numbers of scaffolds and a concomitant increase in the N50.The list of protein-coding genes was generated using the evidence-driven gene predictor Augustus, with expressed sequence tag evidence and RNA-Seq data as input.
