A recently collected <i>Xanthomonas translucens</i> isolate encodes TAL effectors distinct from older, less virulent isolates.

"xtt co236 and xtu co237 genomic sequences are deposited in genbank (accession: prjna1017868 and prjna1017870 respectively).; the curated assemblies were formatted into genbank files and uploaded into ncbi under the accession numbers prjna1017868 (xtt co236) and prjna1017870 (xtu co237). table s3 in fasta"

"custom bash and python scripts for the effector analysis are available at: https://github com/robertslabcsu/xanthanalysis git .; a custom bash script ( https://github com/robertslabcsu/xanthanalysis git ) was used to compare previously characterized xanthomonas effectors against putative proteins of all ncbi-available (as of august 2023) xtu genomes predicted by prokka 1 13 [ ] with tblastn."
