“Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus” (CaLas), an uncultured α-proteobacterium, is associated with citrus Huanglongbing (HLB, yellow shoot disease), a destructive disease threatening citrus production worldwide. Here, we reported the draft genome sequence of CaLas strain Myan16 from a HLB-affected lime tree in Myitkyina, Kachin State, Myanmar. The strain Myan16 genome is 1,229,102 bp with an average G+C content of 36.4%, along with a circular prophage: P-Myan16-2 (36,303 bp, Type 2). This is the first genome sequence of CaLas strain from Myanmar, which will enrich the current CaLas genome sequence database and facilitate HLB epidemiology research in Asia and world.
