Hybrid sequencing recovers highly contiguous genome assemblies from eight cultured Planktothrix rubescens isolates from Lake Zurich
ABSTRACT We report highly contiguous genome assemblies from eight cultured Planktothrix rubescens strains isolated from Lake Zurich, Switzerland. Hybrid Illumina and Nanopore sequencing produced high-quality, near-complete, near-contaminant-free assemblies, including seven single-contig genomes, four flagged as circular.
