Re-sequencing of Chlamydia trachomatis E and F strains

Chlamydia trachomatis, agent of ocular, urogenital and lymph system infections in humans, is highly abundant and within its serovars E, F and D are the most successful ones, causing sexually transmitted disease. Despite this, the number of public available genome sequences and in general the overall knowledge on genome level of the serovars E and F, is low. Here we re-sequenced six E and F clinical samples and one E lab strain, in order to identify the genetic variance in these serovars.
