Here we report the first genome assembly for this species based solely on short Solexa sequencing reads of isolate 0-1. The assembly was validated by comparison to BAC sequences ESTs orthologous genes and by PCR and complemented by cytogenetic karyotyping and the first genome-wide genetic map for P. teres f. teres. Results The total assembly was Mbp and contains 11 799 gene models of 50 amino acids or more. Comparison against two sequenced BACs showed that complex regions with a high GC content assembled effectively. Electrophoretic karyotyping showed distinct chromosomal polymorphisms between isolates 0-1 and 15A and cytological karyotyping confirmed the presence of at least nine chromosomes. The genetic map spans cM and is composed of 243 markers in 25 linkage groups and incorporates simple sequence repeat markers developed from the assembly. Among predicted genes non-ribosomal peptide synthetases and efflux pumps in particular appear to have undergone a P. teres f. teres-specific expansion of non-orthologous gene families. Conclusions This study demonstrates that paired-end Solexa sequencing can successfully capture coding regions of a filamentous fungal genome. The assembly contains a plethora of predicted genes that have been implicated in a necrotrophic lifestyle and pathogenicity and presents a significant resource for examining
