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). 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).

Data use

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.
