Decontamination and Annotation of the Draft Genome Sequence of the Oomycete Lagenidium giganteum ARSEF 373

Abstract

Scaffolds of a previously published Lagenidium giganteum ARSEF 373 genome assembly found at GenBank were filtered to remove contaminating sequences. Genome annotation of the 437 scaffolds (total length, 56.2 MB; GC content, 58.8%) with confirmed L. giganteum sequences identified 13,069 potential protein-coding genes, encoding at least 737 predicted secreted proteins and >100 putative translocated effectors.
