Conclusion
The complete genome sequence of Tsukamurella paurometabola type strain no. 33T has been successfully obtained and annotated.
Supporting Evidence
- The genome is 4,479,724 base pairs long and includes a plasmid.
- There are 4,335 protein-coding genes and 56 RNA genes identified.
- This is the first complete genome sequence of a member of the genus Tsukamurella.
- Tsukamurella paurometabola is known to be an opportunistic pathogen in humans.
Takeaway
Scientists have figured out the full genetic code of a tiny germ called Tsukamurella paurometabola, which can sometimes make people sick.
Methodology
The genome was sequenced using a combination of Sanger and 454 sequencing platforms.
