Complete Genome Sequences of Strains from 36 Serotypes of Salmonella James Robertson, Catherine Yoshida, Simone Gurnik, John H. E. Nash Abstract We report here the completed closed genome sequences of strains representing 36 serotypes of Salmonella. These genome sequences will provide useful references for understanding the genetic variation between serotypes, particularly as references for mapping of raw reads or […]
