Abstract
We report the draft genome sequence of Monascus purpureus GB-01, an industrial strain used as a food colorant. De novo assembly of long reads resulted in 121 chromosomal contigs and 1 mitochondrial contig, and sequencing errors were corrected by paired-end short reads. This genome sequence will provide useful information for azaphilone pigments and mycotoxin citrinin biosynthesis.
Highlights
We report the draft genome sequence of Monascus purpureus GB-01, an industrial strain used as a food colorant
To eliminate small indels, a final polish of the assembly was performed using Pilon 1.22 with nonredundant short paired-end reads of approximately 208.7ϫ total coverage [10, 11]
The draft genome sequence of GB-01 was deposited in DDBJ/ GenBank under accession numbers BIYA00000000 for chromosomes and AP019407 for mitochondria, SRA accession number DRA007939, and BioProject number PRJDB7887
Summary
We report the draft genome sequence of Monascus purpureus GB-01, an industrial strain used as a food colorant. Consensus tool using the Arrow algorithm (Pacific Biosciences).
