## TL;DR

This paper reports the genome sequence of a yeast strain found in soil in Ireland.

## Contribution

The study provides a new genome sequence for Candida solani UCD2211, assembled into six chromosome-sized contigs and a mitochondrial contig.

## Key findings

- The genome of C. solani UCD2211 is 12.67 Mb in size.
- The genome was assembled into six chromosome-sized contigs and a mitochondrial genome contig.

## Abstract

Candida solani is a member of the Wickerhamomyces clade of budding yeasts. We present the genome sequence of C. solani strain UCD2211 isolated from soil on the University College Dublin (UCD) campus in Ireland. This genome was 12.67 Mb and assembled into six chromosome-sized contigs plus a mitochondrial genome contig.
