Abstract:
Rhodosporidium toruloides strain VN1 is of special interest because of its capability for high astaxanthin production. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of R. toruloides VN1, which comprises 20.01 Mb in 424 contigs with an overall G + C content of 61.8%. This whole-genome shotgun project has been deposited at DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank under the accession number SJTE00000000.
