Data for "Evolution upon leather manufacturing: comparison of the two Halobacterium salinarum strains isolated in the early 20-th century with the twin laboratory strains NRC-1 and R1"

This set of files contains data associated with the emerging manuscript<br> "Evolution upon leather manufacturing: comparison of the two<br> Halobacterium salinarum strains isolated in the early 20-th century<br> with the twin laboratory strains NRC-1 and R1."<br> by Friedhelm Pfeiffer and Mike Dyall-Smith. The manuscript provides a detailed comparison of the complete genome<br> sequences from four strains of Halobacterium salinarum:<br> 91-R6 (NRC 34002, the type strain of Halobacterium salinarum);<br> 63-R2 (NRC 34001, a strain originally reported as 'cutirubra');<br> NRC-1 and R1 (two laboratory strains). A detailed comparison of the complete genome sequences of three strains<br> (excluding 63-R2) has been previously reported:<br> Microbiologyopen (2020) 9: e974 (doi: 10.1002/mbo3.974; PMID:31797576). The 'seq_' series of files contains newly reported sequences of<br> episomal plasmids (pHcu190, pHcu229) and plasmid integrants into<br> the chromosome (contigDRAFT1, contigDRAFT2) from strain 63-R2. There are two versions for pHcu229, as this plasmid could only<br> be partially assembled (_asAssembled, 170458 bp) but could be<br> completed in silico (_inSilicoCompleted, 229124 bp). The 'tagMGE_' series of files contains the sequences of all<br> replicons (the main chromosome and all plasmids) with markup<br> of all mobile genetic elements (MGEs) for each of the<br> four strains of Halobacterium salinarum. The file dbHsAllStrainsTotal.fasta contains the complete sequences<br> of the chromosomes and plasmids in a single file. The dbHsAllStrainsCore.fasta contains the same set of sequences but<br> with strain-specific copies of mobile genetic elements removed. This<br> version was generated to facilitate inter-strain sequence comparison.<br>
