Cystobasidium tubakii has been reported as a new basidiomycetous yeast species from East Ongul Island, East Antarctica. This species does not require amino acids and vitamins for growth and can grow at subzero temperatures. Here, we report a high-quality genome sequence of Cystobasidium tubakii strain JCM 31526 T , which was isolated from East Antarctica.
