The draft genome reveals the carbohydrate and phytohormone metabolism in marine macroalga Gracilariopsis lemaneiformis (Rhodophyta)
The tetrasporophyte of Gp. lemaneiformis strain 981 was collected at Ningde (26°65’N, 119°66’E), Fujian, China on September 20, 2009. After purified from contaminated epiphytes, the unialgal specimen were kept and cultured in the algae collection center, Ningbo University. The algal thalli were used for DNA extraction by HP plant DNA Kit (Omega), and the following methods referred to S. japonica (Ye et al, 2015). 623.6 million reads with an average length of 4,305 bp were generated through Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) sequencer.
