# High-quality permanent draft genome sequence of the Parapiptadenia rigida-nodulating Cupriavidus sp. strain UYPR2.512

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of a bacteria strain that forms nodules on a Uruguayan plant, providing insights into its genetic makeup and function.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the high-quality draft genome of Cupriavidus sp. UYPR2.512, isolated from Parapiptadenia rigida root nodules.

## Key findings

- The genome is 7,858,949 bp long and arranged in 365 scaffolds.
- It contains 7,411 protein-coding genes and 76 RNA-only encoding genes.
- The genome is part of the GEBA-RNB project proposal.

## Abstract

Cupriavidus sp. strain UYPR2.512 is an aerobic, motile, Gram-negative, non-spore-forming rod that was isolated from a root nodule of Parapiptadenia rigida grown in soils from a native forest of Uruguay. Here we describe the features of Cupriavidus sp. strain UYPR2.512, together with sequence and annotation. The 7,858,949 bp high-quality permanent draft genome is arranged in 365 scaffolds of 369 contigs, contains 7,411 protein-coding genes and 76 RNA-only encoding genes, and is part of the GEBA-RNB project proposal.
