Background   Sporobolomyces pararoseus  is regarded as an oleaginous red yeast, which synthesizes numerous valuable compounds with wide industrial usages. This species hold biotechnological interests in biodiesel, food and cosmetics industries. Moreover, the ballistospores-shooting promotes the colonizing of  S. pararoseus  in most terrestrial and marine ecosystems. However, very little is known about the basic genomic features of  S. pararoseus . To assess the biotechnological potential and ballistospores-shooting mechanism of  S. pararoseus  on genome-scale, the whole genome sequencing was performed by next-generation sequencing technology.    Results  Here, we used Illumina Hiseq platform to firstly assemble  S. pararoseus  genome into 20.9 Mb containing 54 scaffolds and 5963 predicted genes with a N50 length of 2,038,020 bp and GC content of 47.59%. Genome completeness (BUSCO alignment: 95.4%) and RNA-seq analysis (expressed genes: 98.68%) indicated the high-quality features of the current genome. Through the annotation information of the genome, we screened many key genes involved in carotenoids, lipids, carbohydrate metabolism and signal transduction pathways. A phylogenetic assessment suggested that the evolutionary trajectory of the order Sporidiobolales species was evolved from genus  Sporobolomyces  to  Rhodotorula  through the mediator  Rhodosporidiobolus . Compared to the lacking ballistospores  Rhodotorula toruloides  and  Saccharomyces cerevisiae , we found genes enriched for spore germination and sugar metabolism. These genes might be responsible for the ballistospores-shooting in  S. pararoseus  NGR.    Conclusion  These results greatly advance our understanding of  S. pararoseus  NGR in biotechnological potential and ballistospores-shooting, which help further research of genetic manipulation, metabolic engineering as well as its evolutionary direction.
