Chromosome-scale thraustochytrid genome assembly
<p><span>We used long-read sequencing to produce a telomere-to-telomere genome assembly for the osmoheterotrophic stramenopile protist <em>Aurantiochytrium limacinum</em> MYA-1381. Its ~62 Mb genome is mainly organized in 26 linear chromosomes with a novel configuration: subtelomeric rDNAs are interspersed with long repeated sequence elements denoted as LOng REpeated - TElomere And Rdna Spacers (LORE-TEARS). These repeats may play a role in chromosome end maintenance. A putative circular mirusvirus genome is present at a high copy number (called circular element 1; CE1). The presence of another mirusvirus genome at the end of chromosome 15 in superposition between two complete sets of rRNA and LORE-TEAR elements suggests a dynamic process at the chromosome ends.</span></p>
