A complete annotation of the chromosomes of the cellulase producer Trichoderma reesei provides insights in gene clusters their expression and reveals genes required for fitness

摘要

BackgroundInvestigations on a few eukaryotic model organisms showed that many genes are non-randomly distributed on chromosomes. In addition, chromosome ends frequently possess genes that are important for the fitness of the organisms. Trichoderma reesei is an industrial producer of enzymes for food, feed and biorefinery production. Its seven chromosomes have recently been assembled, thus making an investigation of its chromosome architecture possible.
