Draft genome assembly and annotation of <i>Haematococcus lacustris</i> strain Liv1, an industrial astaxanthin-producing microalga
<i>Haematococcus lacustris</i> is a ubiquitous unicellular green alga with industrial bioproduct applications, namely, as feedstock for natural astaxanthin. We report the annotated 291.5 Mbp genome for <i>H. lacustris</i> Liv1 to support future algal research in the areas of carotenoid biosynthesis and crop protection.
