Microarray-based resequencing of multiple Bacillus anthracis isolates

We used custom-designed resequencing arrays to generate 3.1 Mb of genomic sequence from a panel of 56 Bacillus anthracis strains. Sequence quality was shown to be very high by replication (discrepancy rate of 7.4 × 10(-7)) and by comparison to independently generated shotgun sequence (discrepancy ra...

Sumario:We used custom-designed resequencing arrays to generate 3.1 Mb of genomic sequence from a panel of 56 Bacillus anthracis strains. Sequence quality was shown to be very high by replication (discrepancy rate of 7.4 × 10(-7)) and by comparison to independently generated shotgun sequence (discrepancy rate < 2.5 × 10(-6)). Population genomics studies of microbial pathogens using rapid resequencing technologies such as resequencing arrays are critical for recognizing newly emerging or genetically engineered strains.
