Genome and Transcriptome Analyses Provide Insight Into the Omega-3 Long-Chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Biosynthesis of Schizochytrium limacinum SR21

Schizochytrium sp. is the best natural resource for omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. We report a high-quality genome sequence of Schizochytrium limacinum SR21, which has a 63 Mb genome size, with a contig N50 of 2.67 Mb and 6,838 protein-coding genes. Phylogenomic and comparative geno...
