Genomics data produced to generate a first reference draft of the Cylindrotheca closterium diatom species.
A reference genome for the meroplanktonic diatom Cylindrotheca closterium. Data was generated using both Illumina short reads (MiSeq, 250bp PE) as Nanopore long read (MinION) sequencing. Genome was assembled using a combination of canu and Spades.
