Abstract

Escherichia coli MRE162 was originally isolated from a toilet pan in 1949 and since been utilized in numerous studies. Here, we sequence, assemble, and annotate clones held at three laboratories providing reference-level assemblies. We show the uniqueness of MRE162 to strains in open databases and make the UK clone publically available.

Keywords: DNA sequencing; Escherichia coli; genome analysis.
