Candida hispaniensis strain CBS 9996 genome sequence. Candida hispaniensis strain CBS 9996 genome sequence

The genome of Candida hispaniensis strain CBS 9996 has been sequenced using 454 technology. The assembly was made with Celera assembler and resulted in 7 scaffolds larger than 5 kb with a coverage of 39.46X. The rDNA cluster was assembled independently and manually integrated between scaffolds harboring partial rDNA units at one of their extremities. The final assembly relies on 6 scaffolds, one per chromosome, for a total size of 10,652,573 bp and a G+C content of ca 41.6%. Annotation of protein-coding genes was performed using the Amadea Annotation transfer tool (Isoft, France), with Yarrowia lipolytica genome as reference, and manually curated using RNA-Seq data. Other genetic elements (tRNA, snRNA, centromeres and transposable elements) were expertly added.
