About the Schizosaccharomyces cryophilus genome

Schizosaccharomyces cryophilus is an ascomycetae closely related to the model organism S. pombe. The name is derived from its tolerance of colder temperatures.

Assembly

The genomic assembly used comes from the Schizosaccharomyces Comparative Genome Project, Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT, described here, and deposited in INSDC as Genome Assembly GCA_000004155.2 (WGS project ACQJ2000000).
