The Sanger Institute has been funded by Wellcome Trust to sequence the genome of Chlamydia trachomatis strains serovar A and serovar B in collaboration with Dr. Grant McClarty of the National Microbiology Laboratory, Health Canada, Winnipeg, Canada, Professor Harlan Caldwell of the Rocky Mountain Laboratory, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Hamilton, MT 59840, USA, Professor David Maybey of the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, Keppel Street, London, WC1E 7HT, UK. and Prof. Ian N. Clarke of the School of Medicine, University of Southampton, U.K.
