B. thuringiensis is an insect pathogen that is widely used as a biopesticide in commercial agriculture. Infection of humans is unusual. The apparent pathogenic properties of B. thuringiensis 97-27 are very unusual for B. thuringiensis; unlike most B. thuringiensis isolates, this isolate is very closely related to B. anthracis based on phylogenetic analysis (Fluorescent amplified fragment length polymorphism analysis of Bacillus anthracis, Bacillus cereus, and Bacillus thuringiensis isolates.

Appl Environ Microbiol 70(2):1068-1080. Plasmid and fosmid libraries were prepared at the Joint Genome Institute in Los Alamos (JGI-LANL), NM. Shotgun sequencing was performed at the JGI Production Genomics Facility (JGI-PGF) in Walnut Creek, CA to a coverage of 24x. Finishing was performed at JGI-LANL starting with 83 contigs and 16 scaffolds. Repetitive regions were identified, assembled and finished by manually checking paired reads close to each repeat in the assembly with consed and then making a subassembly for each repetitive region. Fifty five gaps were closed with primer walks and 16 by PCR.Gene predictions were obtained using Glimmer and tRNAs were identified using tRNAScan-SE. Basic analysis of the gene predictions was performed by comparing coding sequences against the PFam, BLOCKS and Prodom databases. Gene definitions and functional classes were added manually by a team of annotators at JGI-LANL, using BLAST results in addition to information from the basic analysis. A total of 5540 features have been annotated on the sequence record. COMPLETENESS: full length.
