Bacteriophage sequencing

The Sanger Institute Pathogen Genomics group is sequencing a number of bacteriophage from various sources. Sequence data for each project will be made available for download (FTP site) and searching (BLAST server) once assemblies have begun. The annotation will be made available upon publication. Please read our data release policy and guidelines and conditions on use of data.


Bacteriophage Source Size Lifestyle Status Data Picture
OT8 Serratia marcescens 169 kb lytic in shot-gun FTP site -
CR1 Citrobacter rodentium ~200 kb lytic Halted - -

CP220 Campylobacter jejuni 178 kb lytic Finished FTP site -

In collaboration with Gordon Dougan (Sanger Institute), George Salmond (Cambridge University), Prof. Ian Connerton (University of Nottingham) and members of the broader phage biology community.


Data Release Statement

This sequencing centre plans on publishing the completed and annotated sequences in a peer-reviewed journal as soon as possible. Permission of the principal investigator should be obtained before publishing analyses of the sequence/open reading frames/genes on a chromosome or genome scale.


Finishing warning

Please note that although finishing has begun, the assembly database may still contain errors and misassemblies, and E. coli and vector contamination. The contig numbers are not stable, and will vary with each data release. The sequences in the shotgun database are single reads from ABI sequencers; they will contain errors, along with both E. coli and vector contamination.


Enquiries about sequencing or analysis should be directed to Nick Thomson or Julian Parkhill.
