High-Quality Genome Reconstruction of Candida albicans CHN1 Using Nanopore and Illumina Sequencing and Hybrid Assembly

We report an improved, nearly closed, high-quality draft genome reconstruction of the Candida albicans CHN1 strain (ATCC MYA-4779), a human isolate, using Illumina and Nanopore sequencing. Covering six complete and two partial nuclear chromosomes along with a partial mitochondrial genome, this assembly is 14,787,852 bases in size, with 5,935 genes.
