Complete genome assembly of the strain CBS 11717 of the yeast Lachancea mirantina

The genome of Lachancea mirantina, strain CBS 11717, 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 10,117,267 bp and a G+C content of 45%. Annotation of protein-coding genes (5110) was performed using the Amadea Annotation transfer tool (Isoft, France) and manually curated. Other genetic elements (tRNA and transposable elements) were expertly added.
