Chromosome-Scale Genome Assembly of Two Australian Nannochloropsis oceanica Isolates Exhibiting Superior Lipid Characteristics.

strains BR2 and KB1 are microalgal isolates from brackish water in the Brisbane River and a coastal rock pool at the Sunshine Coast in Australia which display superior productivity at high temperatures. We used long-read sequencing to sequence their genomes and to facilitate elucidation of loci associated with these traits.
