Draft Genome Sequence of Thermus sp. Strain RL, Isolated from a Hot Water Spring Located atop the Himalayan Ranges at Manikaran, India

Abstract

Thermus sp. strain RL was isolated from a hot water spring (90°C to 98°C) at Manikaran, Himachal Pradesh, India. Here we report the draft genome sequence (20,36,600 bp) of this strain. The draft genome sequence consists of 17 contigs and 1,986 protein-coding sequences and has an average G+C content of 68.77%.
