Hi-C yarrowia lipolytica
This project aims to generate a high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly of Yarrowia lipolytica strain YL. Genomic DNA was extracted and sequenced using third-generation long-read sequencing (PacBio/Nanopore) to obtain continuous long reads for de novo assembly. Hi-C sequencing was additionally performed to capture chromatin interaction information and to scaffold contigs into chromosome-scale assemblies. The combined datasets were used to improve assembly accuracy, contiguity, and completeness, providing a high-resolution genomic resource for downstream functional genomics and metabolic engineering studies.
