Sequencing, assembly, and annotation of two complete genomic sequences from two geographically distinct Polymyxa betae isolates.
In 2021, only a handful of complete genomes were currently available in the Rhizaria supergroup despite the reservoir of the hidden diversity that they represent. In this study, we used a cutting-edge metagenomics pipeline for eukaryote genome assembly from unpurified samples. For the first time, we present two annotated genomic sequences of Polymyxa betae, enriching plasmodiophorid (one Rhizaria order) genomics and raising intriguing questions about zoospore physiology. The data presented here helps to address the bias of available genomic data in the eukaryotic tree of life as influenced by the amenability of these organisms to the application of sequencing.
