Abstract

Escherichia coli C is a commonly used strain in the bioprocessing industry, but despite its utility, the publicly available sequence of the E. coli C genome has gaps and 4,180 ambiguous base calls. Here, we present an updated, high-quality, unambiguous genome sequence with no assembly gaps.
