High relevanceWhole genome de novo sequencing and genome annotation of the world popular cultivated edible mushroom, Lentinula edodes.
Lentinula edodes
Key points
- Lentinula edodes, the popular shiitake mushroom, is one of the most important cultivated edible mushrooms
- It is used as a food and for medicinal purposes
- Here, we present the 46.1 Mb draft genome of L. edodes, comprising 13,028 predicted gene models
- The genome assembly consists of 31 scaffolds
- Gene annotation provides key information about various signaling pathways and secondary metabolites
- This genomic information should help establish the molecular genetic markers for MAS/MAB and increase our understanding of the genome structure and function
Metadata-grounded summary
Citation abstract
Lentinula edodes, the popular shiitake mushroom, is one of the most important cultivated edible mushrooms. It is used as a food and for medicinal purposes. Here, we present the 46.1 Mb draft genome of L. edodes, comprising 13,028 predicted gene models. The genome assembly consists of 31 scaffolds. Gene annotation provides key information about various signaling pathways and secondary metabolites. This genomic information should help establish the molecular genetic markers for MAS/MAB and increase our understanding of the genome structure and function.
