Optical mapping data has been released for the NC7 sequence assembly. 92% of the sequence is now placed in the genome with known order and orientation, in contrast to 65% before the integration of the optical map. The optical mapping information is available in the downloads section, the genetic maps section, and the supercontig table.

Neurospora clone names have been updated to correspond with the clone names available at the FGSC.

We have recently discovered that the genetic map for N. crassa Release 7 was missing three markers, 'nit-2', 'nuo21.3c', and 'Tel-VR'. The contigs & linkage groups affected are:
| Marker | Contig | Linkage Group |
|---|---|---|
| nit-2 | 7.59 | I |
| nuo21.3c | 7.4 | VI |
| Tel-VR | 7.37 | V |
The genetic map graphics, XML and poster have been regenerated to reflect this update.

We are pleased to announce release 7 of the Neurospora crassa genome and annotations. Release 7 is based on the finishing work represented in release 6 and contains 850 Kb of additional sequence.
It also includes a putative gene set created using the same tools and methods as the release 3 annotation, but incorporating additional EST data and an updated set of Genbank proteins. The additional sequence and available evidence has allowed us to identify 682 new genes and refine the structures of many others.
A complete description of the creation of the gene set is available.
