Genomic sequencing data of Cyanidioschyzon merolae
Cyanidioschyzon merolae, a member of the Cyanidiophyceae, is the unicellular red alga that inhabits thermo-acidic environments. Cz. merolae exhibits a sexual life cycle, alternating between a cell-walled diploid and a cell wall-less haploid, with both phases capable of proliferating asexually. To examine whether meiotic recombination occurs in Cz. merolae, we obtained Illumina reads for SNP and indel analysis from the diploid clone MS1 and haploid clones (10D and MS1-derived).
