De novo yeast genome assemblies from MinION, PacBio and MiSeq platforms

De novo assemblies of four yeast strains generated by various assembly and scaffolding pipelines using yeast sequencing data from three different technologies: a short-read Illumina platform (MiSeq) and the long-read platforms of Oxford Nanopore (MinION) and Pacific Biosciences (RSII). The Pacific Biosciences data we used are from the EBI Study Accession Number PRJEB7245, while the Oxford Nanopore and Illumina data are available from the EBI Study Accession Number PRJEB19900. Analysis published in Scientific Reports 2017; 7: 3935, doi: 10.1038/s41598-017-03996-z.

The yeast strains sequenced are the two S. cerevisiae strains S288c and SK1, and the two S. paradoxus strains N44 and CBS432 respectively. Scripts to download the data and sample scripts to run the various pipelines are available on GitHub: https://github.com/fg6/YeastStrainsStudy.git.
