“…Published annotations indicate that these genomes each contain from 2,066 to 2,294 protein-coding sequences, 2 ribosomal RNA operons, 49-50 tRNA genes (43 different anti-codons), and 1 tmRNA gene (van Sluys et al 2003). Draft quality genomes are available for three other isolates, each appearing to be very similar to one of the finished genomes at the coarse scale (Bhattacharyya et al 2002;Schreiber et al 2010;Zhang et al 2011), as are contigs from the shotgun sequencing of a mixed sample of subspecies multiplex and sandyi (Bhattacharyya et al 2002;Nunney et al 2012). The diversity of available sequences will increase rapidly in the near future, as several projects are underway that are sequencing tens of genomes from isolates collected around the world.…”
