Our goal was to improve the existing annotation of Z. tritici and to generate a complete set of gene models and repeat families for the four Zymoseptoria species for comparative genome analyses. All predicted gene models were in silico functionally annotated. We particularly focused on the presence and distribution of small proteins with signal peptides because these could be effector proteins produced to overcome host immune defenses (de Jonge et al. 2011). To characterize a set of core Zymoseptoria genes and to identify species-specific orphan genes, we conducted a detailed analyses of gene homologies. Furthermore, we addressed the distribution of TEs in the Zymoseptoria genomes with a particular focus on TE content of core and accessory chromosomes of Z. tritici and the distribution of TE families between the four Zymoseptoria species. The dataset presented here provides not only a new high-quality annotation of Z. tritici but also a detailed characterization of gene families among Z. tritici, Z. pseudotritici, Z. ardabiliae, and Z. brevis.","tracks":[]}
