Cordycepin and Pentostatin Biosynthesis Gene Identified through Transcriptome and Proteomics Analysis of Cordyceps kyushuensis Kob

This study first sequenced transcriptome and proteomics of C. kyushuensis, and demonstrated that there is a single gene cluster related to biosynthesis of cordycepin and pentostatin, which can be employed to improve the yield of cordycepin and find more functional proteins.
