Gene database for Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1

<i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa </i>is a common soil bacterium with a versatile metabolism capable of degrading many organic compounds. More importantly, <i>P. aeruginosa </i>is recognized as an important opportunistic pathogen of humans. This contribution describes a gene database comprising the names and gene sequences of all genes in <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> PAO1 (Genbank accession number: NCBI Reference Sequence: NC_002516.2). Annotated genome file was downloaded from Genbank and parsed by an in-house MATLAB software to yield a database comprising gene names and gene sequences. Overall, the gene database of <i>P. aeruginosa </i>PAO1 should find use in applications investigating the multi-faceted biology and biotechnology applications of this Gram-negative bacterium. Note that many genes in the species remain unannotated and lack a three letter abbreviated gene name. <br><br>
