Neisseria meningitidis

30^th March 2000: Sequence and annotation of N. meningitidis Z2491 published

		*The complete sequence and annotation of N. meningitidis* Z2491 has been published.** Press Release Nature Paper Sequence Data

The genome of Neisseria meningitidis serogroup A strain Z2491 was produced in collaboration with Prof. Brian Spratt at the Department of Infectious Disease Epidemiology,, Faculty of Medicine, Imperial College and Dr. Mark Achtman at the Max-Planck Institut fur Infektionsbiologie. This project was funded by The Wellcome Trust.
