The Sanger Institute has completed the sequence and analysis of Erwinia carotovora subsp. atroseptica strain SCRI1043 (ATCC BAA-672), in collaboration with Dr. Ian Toth and Dr. Paul Birch of the Scottish Crop Research Institute, and Prof. George Salmond of the Department of Biochemistry, University of Cambridge. This project was funded by The Scottish Executive Environment and Rural Affairs Department (SEERAD).

Published Genome Data

The fully annotated genome sequence is available from the EMBL/GenBank database with accession number BX950851.

Data Use 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. See our data sharing policy.
