We have assembled and annotate 6.1-Mb genome sequence of Rhodococcus ruber strain BKS 20-38, isolated from palm tree rhizosphere soil of Bhitarkanika National park, Odhisha, India. Draft genome of strain BKS 20-38 consists of 6,126,900 bp with a G+C content of 69.72% and 5,716 protein coding genes and 49 RNAs.

Genome sequencing

The genome of strain BKS 20-38 was sequenced using Illumina Hi-Seq 1000 technology. A total of 60,504,470 high quality, vector filtered reads (~1018.5 times coverage) were used for assembly with SOAPdenovo v1.05 (at hash length of 73) followed by GapCloser(at hash length 15) software.

Genome annotation

Genome annotation was done by RAST server and ARAGORN.
