Here we present the draft genome sequence of the dimorphic ascomycete yeast Yarrowia lipolytica strain W29 (ATCC20460TM). Y. lipolytica is a commonly employed model for industrial production of lipases, small molecules, and more recently for its ability to accumulate lipids. It has also been used to study genome evolution in yeast and filamentous fungi due to its position as an early diverging branch of the subphylum Sacchromycotina.
