The Sanger Institute, funded by the USDA, has completed the sequence of the genome of Erwinia amylovora strain Ea273 in collaboration with Steven Beer of the Department of Plant Pathology, Cornell University, and Nicole Perna of the Department of Genetics, University of Wisconsin.

Published Genome Data

The genome is 3,805,874 bp in size and has a G+C content of approximately 53.5%. There are also two plasmids, one of 71,487 bp and one of 28243 bp.

The chromosomal genome is deposited in the EMBL/GenBank databases with accession number FN666575. The plasmids are similarly available with accession numbers FN666576 and FN666577.

Shotgun and assembly data from this project are available from our FTP site.
