Draft Nuclear Genomes of Pseudoblepharisma chlorelligerum and Its Chlorella Endosymbiont

Sergio Munoz-Gomez published draft nuclear genome and predicted proteome files for the ciliate Pseudoblepharisma chlorelligerum and its Chlorella endosymbiont in 2025. The dataset comprises four files in FASTA and FAA formats, totaling 88.8 MB. It was last updated on the figshare platform in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Comparative genomics analysis based on the draft nuclear genome sequences.
• Proteome annotation and functional prediction based on the predicted protein files.
• Studying endosymbiotic gene transfer and integration based on the paired host and symbiont genomes.
• Phylogenetic placement of Pseudoblepharisma chlorelligerum based on genomic data.

Strengths

• Includes paired data for both a host organism and its endosymbiont.
• Provides both genomic (FASTA) and predicted protein (FAA) data formats.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.
• Dataset size is 88.8 MB, which is relatively small and manageable for download.

Limitations

• Row and column counts are unknown, limiting suitability assessment for specific analyses.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and assembly statistics require manual inspection after download.
• The data is described as 'draft' genomes, which may indicate incomplete assembly or annotation.
