Abstract

Stentor coeruleus is a giant, regenerating unicellular ciliate. These cells reach lengths upwards of 1 mm in length, and the compartmentalized macronucleus extends along the anterior-posterior axis of the cell. The reference genome for this species (Slabodnick et al 2017) was sequenced using short-read Illumina sequencing. Here, we are sharing raw PacBio sequencing data as well as a draft genome assembly. These data will be used to update the Stentor coeruleus reference genome and aid in future studies.
