Haematococcus lacustris is an industrially important eukaryotic microalga that is thought to be a great source of natural astaxanthin with strong antioxidant activity. Here, we report the draft assembly and annotation results of the genome of H. lacustris NIES-144. These data will expand our knowledge of the molecular biological features of this microalga.
