Whole genome sequencing of chromosomal DNA of strain STB-G (CIPT 140070005) by Illumina HiSeq (single lane) assembled by the use of Velvet software and manual contig ordering. Mycobacterium canettii CIPT 140070005 isolate:STB-G

This project is oriented towards genome sequencing of different strains of smooth tubercle bacilli that cause tuberculosis in humans but differ from classical Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains by a different colony morphology and a greater genetic variability. The whole genome sequencing of chromosomal DNA of strain STB-G (CIPT 140070005) was undertaken by Illumina HiSeq (single lane) sequencing at the Genopole of the Institut Pasteur in Paris and reads were assembled by the use of Velvet software and manual ordering to contigs submitted to WGS database
