Abstract

A high-quality draft genome sequence of the microalgal species Tetraselmis striata was generated using PacBio sequencing. The assembled genome is 228 Mb, derived from 3,613 polished contigs at 84× coverage depth. This genome contains an average GC content of 57.9% and 48,906 predicted genes.
