The Nearly Complete Genome of <i>Grifola frondosa</i> and Light-Induced Genes Screened Based on Transcriptomics Promote the Production of Triterpenoid Compounds.

ABSTRACT: Grifola frondosa, commonly known as turkey tail, is a valuable fungus with medicinal and culinary uses, rich in bioactive compounds like triterpenoid polysaccharides that contribute to health benefits. Here, we constructed a nearly complete genome of G. frondosa CH1 using Illumina, PacBio HiFi, and Hi-C sequencing technologies, resulting in a 35.74 Mb genome with 12,526 protein-coding genes. The genome spans 12 chromosomes, all with intact telomeric structures and no gaps. The BUSCO completeness scores of 95.1% and 99.1% for the genome and genes, respectively, indicate high assembly quality and high completeness of gene prediction. Phylogenetic analysis showed a close relationship between G. frondosa CH1 and Trametes cinnabarina. Transcriptomic analysis under va
