The genome sequence of a non-capsular natural Bacillus anthracis strain of A.Br.001/002 canSNP group isolated from permafrost in Yakutia, Russia.

Abstract

We present the results of the whole-genome sequencing of a Bacillus anthracis strain isolated from a permafrost sample collected in Yakutia, Russia. This strain was named YakM12. Phylogenetic analysis showed that YakM12 belongs to the canSNP group A.Br.001/002 and is genetically close to the Sterne vaccine strain.
