Whole genome sequencing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis SB24 isolated from Sabah, Malaysia

Publication date: Available online 10 August 2016 Source:Genomics Data Author(s): Noraini Philip, Kenneth Francis Rodrigues, Timothy William, Daisy Vanitha John Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) is the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB) that causes millions of death every year. We have sequenced the genome of M. tuberculosis isolated from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of a patient diagnosed with tuberculous meningitis (TBM). The isolated strain was referred as M. tuberculosis SB24. Genomic DNA of the M. tuberculosis SB24 was extracted and subjected to whole genome sequencing using PacBio platform. The draft genome size of M. tuberculosis SB24 was determined to be 4,452,489bp with a G+C content of 65.6%. The whole genome shotgun project has been deposited in NCBI SRA under the accession number SRP076503.
