Genomic sequencing data of Cyanidioschyzon merolae

Cyanidioschyzon merolae, a member of the Cyanidiophyceae, is the unicellular red alga that inhabits thermo-acidic environments. Cz. merolae exhibits a sexual life cycle, alternating between a cell-walled diploid and a cell wall-less haploid, with both phases capable of proliferating asexually. To examine whether meiotic recombination occurs in Cz. merolae, we obtained Illumina reads for SNP and indel analysis from the diploid clone MS1 and haploid clones (10D and MS1-derived).

梅氏蓝状红藻（Cyanidioschyzon merolae）隶属于蓝红藻纲（Cyanidiophyceae），是一种栖息于热酸环境的单细胞红藻。该藻具备有性生殖周期，可在具细胞壁的二倍体与无细胞壁的单倍体之间交替，且两种倍性阶段均可进行无性增殖。为探究梅氏蓝状红藻是否发生减数分裂重组，我们从二倍体克隆株MS1以及单倍体克隆株（10D与MS1衍生株）中获取了用于单核苷酸多态性（Single Nucleotide Polymorphism，SNP）和插入缺失变异（insertion-deletion，indel）分析的Illumina测序读段。
