Draft genome assembly and annotation of coccoid green algae <i>Micractinium simplicissimum</i> from Antarctica Euna Jo (24158136) Genomics and transcriptomics Sequence analysis Micractinium simplicissimum Antarctic microalgae Oxford Nanopore Genome assembly Gene annotation <p dir="ltr"><i>Micractinium simplicissimum</i> is a coccoid green microalga first described from Antarctic freshwater habitats, with additional records from Russia. Despite the industrial potential of the genus <i>Micractinium</i>, genomic resources within the genus remain limited, and no nuclear genome has been reported for this species to date. Therefore, this study the first to present its <i>de novo</i> nuclear genome assembly. Here, we sequenced and assembled the genome and transcriptome of <i>M. simplicissimum</i> strain KSF0100 from Antarctica using Oxford Nanopore long reads, Illumina short reads, and RNA-seq data, and performed structural and functional gene annotation.</p> 2026-09-27T15:05:55Z Dataset Dataset 10.6084/m9.figshare.32685531.v2 https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/Draft_genome_assembly_and_annotation_of_coccoid_green_algae_i_Micractinium_simplicissimum_i_from_Antarctica/32685531 CC BY 4.0
