The Vibrio vulnificus YJ016 genome is 5.26 Million bp long and contains approximately 5167 predicted genes.

The sequence was released 12/06/2003 by the NHRI, China, and was described in Genome Res 13:2577-87 (2003) Chen CY, Wu KM, Chang YC, Chang CH, Tsai HC, et al.  "Comparative genome analysis of Vibrio vulnificus, a marine pathogen. "
Abstract: The halophile Vibrio vulnificus is an etiologic agent of human mortality from seafood-borne infections. We applied whole-genome sequencing and comparative analysis to investigate the evolution of this pathogen. The genome of biotype 1 strain, V. vulnificus YJ016, was sequenced and includes two chromosomes of estimated 3377 kbp and 1857 kbp in size, and a plasmid of 48,508 bp. A super-integron (SI) was identified, and the SI region spans 139 kbp and contains 188 gene cassettes. In contrast to non-SI sequences, the captured gene cassettes are unique for any given Vibrio species and are highly variable among V. vulnificus strains. Multiple rearrangements were found when comparing the 5.3-Mbp V. vulnificus YJ016 genome and the 4.0-Mbp V. cholerae El Tor N16961 genome. The organization of gene ...

The Archaeal Genome Browsers at UCSC were developed by members of the Lowe Lab (Kevin Schneider, Katherine Pollard, Andy Pohl, Todd Lowe) and Robert Baertsch, with significant support from the UCSC Human Genome Browser group. The Archaeal Browsers are run by a slightly modified version of the UCSC Human Genome Browser system. All queries, bug reports, content corrections, suggested improvements, and new track data submissions should be sent to Todd Lowe (lowe @soe.ucsc.edu).
