Streptomyces scabies is an important bacterial plant pathogen, and is the causative agent of potato scab.
[Genome Research Limited]
The Sanger Institute was funded by the USDA to sequence the genome of Streptomyces scabies strain 87.22 in collaboration with Rosemary Loria of the Department of Plant Pathology, Cornell University.
The finished chromosome is 10,148,695 bp with a G+C content of 71.45%.
Shotgun and assembly data from this project are available from our FTP site.
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. See our data sharing policy.
