Molecular analysis of intragenic recombination at the tryptophan synthetase locus in Neurospora crassa

Draft Genome Sequence of Neurospora crassa Strain FGSC 73

We report the elucidation of the complete genome of the Neurospora crassa (Shear and Dodge) strain FGSC 73, a mat-a, trp-3 mutant strain. The genome sequence around the idiotypic mating type locus represents the only publicly available sequence for a mat-a strain. 40.42 Megabases are assembled into 358 scaffolds carrying 11,978 gene models.
