Bacillus anthracis Porton Ames Genome Sequence

The Bacillus anthracis Porton Ames isolate (pXO1-, pXO2-) was sequenced at the Institute for Genomic Research in 1999-2003.

This data release includes:
(i) the complete sequence of the main chromosome
(ii) the set of individual sequences that were used to create those contigs
(iii) the comparative genomic hybridization data
(iv) a file containing the quality values for each individual sequence

The complete sequence representing the main chromosome has been deposited with GenBank (accession AE016879)

Shotgun electropherogram traces were deposited in the NCBI Trace Archive

The comparative genomic hybridization data can be accessed at the National Center for Biotechnology Information Gene Omnibus Expression site under the data series GSE341.

A new release file system for the quality of each individual is available here.
