Other Projects

Additionally, as part of a joint project investigating the genomics and population biology of Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC), the Sanger Institute, funded by the BBSRC has sequenced the genome of an ETEC strain, H10407 This project was funded in collaboration with Dr. Ian Henderson and Prof. Mark Pallen of the Department of Immunity and Infection, University of Birmingham.

This genome is published and consists of a chromosome and 4 plasmids. The chromosome has EMBL/GenBank accession FN649414 and the plasmids have accessions FN649415, FN649416, FN649417 and FN649418
