The draft genome of
the ascomycete fungus Xylaria flabelliformis
(formally known as X. cubensis) was sequenced using Illumina paired-end technology. The assembled genome is 41.2
Mb in length and contains 11,404 genes. This genome will contribute to our
understanding of X. flabelliformis secondary
metabolism and the organism’s ability to live as a decomposer as well as an
endosymbiont.
