WGS sequencing
The <a href="http://www.broad.mit.edu/annotation/fungi/cryptococcus_neoformans_b/index.html">Broad Institute</a> sequenced the <i>Cryptococcus gattii</i> VGII molecular type R265 (aka <i>Cryptococcus neoformans</i> var. <i>gattii</i> R265 or <i>Cryptococcus neoformans</i> R265, serotype B) genome at 6X coverage using whole genome shotgun (WGS) sequencing. They generated a <i>Cryptococcus gattii</i> R265 genome assembly consisting of 701 contigs placed into 28 scaffolds. The assembly represents approximately 85.8% of the genome; it excludes ribosomal RNA genes and very highly conserved repetitive sequence. The <i>Cryptococcus gattii</i> R265 genome assembly is undergoing automated annotation.
