All strains were screened to identify genes involved in growth rate, conidiation, pigmentation, auxotrophy, and pathogenicity. Here, we provide a description of the high throughput transformation and analysis pipeline used to create our library. Transformed lines were generated either by CaCl2/PEG treatment of protoplasts with DNA or by Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation (ATMT). We describe the optimization of both approaches and compare their efficiency. ATMT was found to be a more reproducible method, resulting in predominantly single copy insertions, and its efficiency was high with up to 0.3% of conidia being transformed. The phenotypic data is accessible via a public database called MGOS and all strains are publicly available. This represents the most comprehensive insertional mutagenesis analysis of a fungal pathogen.}, number={10}, journal={FUNGAL GENETICS AND BIOLOGY}, author={Betts, Melania F. and Tucker, Sara L. and Galadima, Natalia and Meng, Yan and Patel, Gayatri and Li, Lei and Donofrio, Nicole and Floyd, Anna and Nolin, Shelly and Brown, Doug and et al.}, year={2007}, month={Oct}, pages={1035–1049} } @article{donofrio_rajagopalon_brown_diener_windham_nolin_floyd_mitchell_galadima_tucker_et al._2005, title={PACLIMS: A component LIM system for high-throughput functional genomic analysis}, volume={6}, journal={BMC Bioinformatics}, author={Donofrio, N. and Rajagopalon, R. and Brown, D. and Diener, S. and Windham, D. and Nolin, S. and Floyd, A. and Mitchell, T. and Galadima, N. and Tucker, S. and et al.}, year={2005} } @article{joobeur_king_nolin_thomas_dean_2004, title={The fusarium wilt resistance locus Fom-2 of melon contains a single resistance gene with complex features}, volume={39}, ISSN={["1365-313X"]}, DOI={10.1111/j.1365-313X.2004.02134.x}, abstractNote={Summary}, number={3}, journal={PLANT JOURNAL}, author={Joobeur, T and King, JJ and Nolin, SJ and Thomas, CE and Dean, RA}, year={2004}, month={Aug}, pages={283–297} }
