The Sanger Institute was funded by the The Horserace Betting Levy Board to sequence the genome of Rhodococcus equi strain 103S in collaboration with Prof. Jose Vasquez-Boland, of the Department of Clinical Veterinary Science, University of Bristol, Prof. John F. Prescott, Department of Pathobiology, University of Guelph, Canada, Dr. Wim Meijer, Department of Industrial Microbiology, University College Dublin, and Dr. Iain Sutcliffe, Department of Biomedical Sciences, Northumbria University.

Published Genome Data

The finished genome of Rhodococcus equi strain 103S is 5,043,170 bp in length and has a G+C content of approximately 68.82%. There is also a plasmid of 80,609 bp.

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