In March 2003, the Broad Institute (a research collaboration between the Whitehead Institute, MIT and Harvard University) publically released a 13X coverage of A. nidulans (FGSC A4) obtained by whole genome shotgun sequencing. The genome was automatically annotated by the Broad Insitute, the data of which is available from their Website. Since then, however, the genome has undergone another round of automated annotation at The J. Craig Venter Institute, which is now available within CADRE.

At present, there are eight linkage groups (I to VIII) and a number of unassigned fragments annotated within CADRE. Using information available from the Broad A. nidulans Website and John Clutterbuck's A. nidulans linkage map Website, we have attempted to build the most accurate assembly. For further information about this assembly please follow this link.
