Abstract
A 30.43-Mb draft genome sequence with 10,355 predicted protein-coding genes was produced for the ascomycete fungus Exophiala mesophila strain CCFEE 6314, a black yeast isolated from Antarctic cryptoendolithic communities. The sequence will be of importance for identifying differences among extremophiles and mesophiles and cataloguing the global population diversity of this organism.
Highlights
Within the Herpotrichiellaceae family (Chaetothyriales), there are many recognized species in the genus Exophiala which are adapted to a multitude of ecological niches, including human environments [9, 10]
A total of 2.9 million 2 ϫ 300-bp paired-end sequence reads were obtained from a multiplexed library from one Illumina MiSeq flow cell
A quality check of reads was performed with FastQC (v0.11.3) [20], followed by genome assembly with MaSuRCA (v2.3.2) [21], using default parameters, which included qualitybased read trimming and corrections
Summary
Within the Herpotrichiellaceae family (Chaetothyriales), there are many recognized species in the genus Exophiala which are adapted to a multitude of ecological niches, including human environments [9, 10]. A total of 2.9 million 2 ϫ 300-bp paired-end sequence reads were obtained from a multiplexed library from one Illumina MiSeq flow cell. A quality check of reads was performed with FastQC (v0.11.3) [20], followed by genome assembly with MaSuRCA (v2.3.2) [21], using default parameters (cgwErrorRate ϭ 0.15), which included qualitybased read trimming and corrections.
