Abstract
Fusarium sambucinum is one of the most important causal agents that not only cause the dry rot disease of potato tubers in fields and stores worldwide but also capable of producing secondary metabolites toxic for people and animals. Here we present the first draft genome sequence of the strain (F-4) estimated to be around appx. 42.0 Mb. The genome has 12,845 protein coding genes with more than 35,900 exons and gene density of 3.13 per 10Kb. F. sambucinum is evolutionary more close to the F. graminearum among the Fusarium species complex. The genome sequence represents a valuable resource for understanding the pathogenecity and virulence factors, and their evolution within the complex and highly plastic genus Fusarium.
Resumen
Fusarium sambucinum es uno de los más importantes agentes causales que no solo inducen la enfermedad de la pudrición seca de tubérculos de papa en campos y almacenes en el mundo, sino que también son capaces de producir metabolitos secundarios tóxicos para humanos y animales. Aquí presentamos el primer bosquejo de la secuencia genómica de la cepa (F-4), estimada en aproximadamente 42.0 Mb. El genomio tiene 12,845 genes que codifican para proteínas con más de 35,900 exones y una densidad génica de 3.13 por 10 Kb. F. sambucinum es evolutivamente más cercano a F. graminearum entre el complejo de especies de Fusarium. La secuencia genómica representa una fuente valiosa para el entendimiento de los factores de la patogenicidad y virulencia y su evolución dentro del complejo y altamente plástico género Fusarium
