Whole genome sequencing of Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica isolates screened from companion and food animals with potential public and animal health importance

Funding supports sequencing and analysis of selected E. coli and Salmonella enterica isolates from an archived collection, with the goal of producing and publicly sharing high-quality genome assemblies.

Description

The project will select 100 isolates of each species for whole-genome sequencing, prioritizing isolates with potential human and animal health importance. It aims to submit at least 90 high-quality complete or draft genomes per species to NCBI GenBank for public access.
