The genome sequence and gene prediction of Colletotrichum limetticola KLA-Anderson have not been determined by the Joint Genome Institute (JGI), but were downloaded from NCBI on Oct 20, 2024. All published models are available as ExternalModels. In order to ensure this genome is comparable to those sequenced and annotated by the JGI, we applied standard filters to ExternalModels to produce the initial GeneCatalog. A total of 955 ExternalModels were excluded based on one of the following classifications: 1) association with repetitive elements, 2) pseudogenes with internal stop codons, 3) alternative isoforms or overlapping transcript models, 4) alleles on secondary scaffolds, and 5) short models lacking functional annotation. Please note that this copy of the genome is not maintained by NCBI and is therefore not automatically updated. In order to allow comparative analyses with other fungal genomes sequenced by the JGI, a copy of this genome is incorporated into Mycocosm. The JGI Annotation Pipeline was used to add functional annotation to the genes.

Colletotrichum limetticola (formerly known as Gloeosporium limetticola) was initially described as a species predominantly associated with wither tip symptoms on sour lime (Citrus aurantiifolia) in Cuba and the USA during the 1910s. Later descriptions associated the disease with strains of C. gloeosporioides or C. acutatum. Recent findings in Brazil have revealed the presence of C. limetticola causing Glomerella leaf spot on apples, although its prevalence remains low while displaying high virulence.
