Complete genome assembly of the strain CBS 2950 of the yeast Lachancea cidri

The genome of Lachancea cidri, strain CBS 2950, has been sequenced using Roche 454 technology (single and paired-end reads 8kb) and Illumina Solexa technology (single reads). The assembly was made with Celera Assembler (v6.1) and Newbler (v2.7). The final draft relies on 8 chromosomes, for a total size of 10,147,735 bp and a G+C content of 41%. Annotation of protein-coding genes (5239) was performed using the Amadea Annotation transfer tool (Isoft, France) and manually curated. Other genetic elements (tRNA and transposable elements) were expertly added.
