Plasmid genomes - data download
This page provides access to genomes sequenced at the Wellcome Sanger Institute.
We make all our sequence data available through the links below. The below list may include complete, ongoing and forthcoming sequencing projects.
Miscellaneous plasmids
The Sanger Institute Pathogen Genomics group is sequencing a number of plasmids from various sources. Sequence data for each project will be made available for download (FTP site) and searching (BLAST server) once assemblies have begun. The annotation will be made available upon publication.

E. coli reference plasmid
In collaboration with Christopher Thomas (University of Birmingham), John Wain (Sanger Institute) and the broader plasmid biology community (with advisors Anne Summers, Athens Georgia, USA and Ron Skurray, Sydney, Australia) we are sequencing reference plasmids for each of the Escherichia coli incompatibility groups for which no complete sequence exists, along with equivalent plasmids from modern clinical isolates. These are all listed below. If you have a plasmid that might be interesting to sequence in this context please contact Christopher Thomas. The sequencing of plasmid pVL501 is in collaboration with Jonathan Fletcher (University of Bradford).
