Abstract

Here, we report an essentially complete genome assembly for the Ty1-less Saccharomyces paradoxus strain DG1768 (derivative of strain 337) based on PacBio and Illumina shotgun sequence data. We also document the genetic alterations that make this yeast strain a key resource for Ty1 mobility studies.
