Revised Transcriptome-Based Gene Annotation for Aspergillus flavus Strain NRRL 3357

Abstract

Aspergillus flavus is an agriculturally and medically important filamentous fungus that produces mycotoxins, including aflatoxins, which are potent carcinogens. Here, we generated short- and long-read transcript sequence data from the growth of A. flavus strain NRRL 3357 under both typical and stress conditions to produce a new annotation of its genome.
