# The genome sequence of a marine yeast, Metschnikowia zobellii (Uden & Cast.-Branco, 1961)

## TL;DR

This paper reports the genome sequence of a marine yeast, Metschnikowia zobellii, including its chromosomal and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The paper provides a new genome assembly for Metschnikowia zobellii, including scaffolded chromosomes and a mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 13.6 megabases and is scaffolded into 5 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 51.12 kilobases in length.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a
Metschnikowia zobellii culture (a marine yeast; Ascomycota; Saccharomycetes; Saccharomycetales; Metschnikowiaceae). The genome sequence is 13.6 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 5 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 51.12 kilobases in length.
