Escherichia coli Genome sequencing. Escherichia coli

The purpose of conducting whole genome sequencing of bacteria is to identify the genes and functions carried by the genome, and to understand the location, function, and transmission ability of virulence and resistance genes. Understand the evolutionary history and genetic variation of bacteria, reveal the evolutionary relationship of microorganisms, and provide basic data and resources for microbiology research.

开展细菌全基因组测序（whole genome sequencing）的核心目的，在于识别其基因组所携带的基因及其功能，解析毒力基因与耐药基因的位置、功能及传播能力；同时阐明细菌的进化历程与遗传变异特征，揭示微生物的演化亲缘关系，为微生物学研究提供基础数据与资源支撑。
