Abstract
AbstractLasallia hispanica (Frey) Sancho & A. Crespo is one of threeLasalliaspecies occurring in central-western Europe. It is an orophytic, photophilous Mediterranean endemic which is sympatric with the closely related, widely distributed, highly clonal sister taxonL. pustulatain the supra- and oro-Mediterranean belts. We sequenced the genome ofL. hispanicafrom a multispore isolate. The total genome length is 41·2 Mb, including 8488 gene models. We present the annotation of a variety of genes that are involved in protein secretion, mating processes and secondary metabolism, and we report transposable elements. Additionally, we compared the genome ofL. hispanicato the closely related, yet ecologically distant,L. pustulataand found high synteny in gene content and order. The newly assembled and annotatedL. hispanicagenome represents a useful resource for future investigations into niche differentiation, speciation and microevolution inL. hispanicaand other members of the genus.
