Abstract

We report the genome sequencing and annotation of the basidiomycetous red-pigmented yeast Sporidiobolus salmonicolor strain CBS 6832. The current assembly contains 395 scaffolds, for a total size of about 20.5 Mb and a G+C content of ~61.3%. The genome annotation predicts 5,147 putative protein-coding genes.
