Comparative Genome Analysis of Sphingomonas chungbukensis DJ77

The assemblies of our partial genomic sequence data of Sphingomonas chungbukensis DJ77, with the total size of 877,928 bp, was done by TIGR Assembler. The total size of our current obtained contigs was about 0.73 Mb. A comparative genome analysis between our uncompleted genome and the other completed genomes was performed by taking advantage of the availability of multiple complete genomes in COGs database (Clusters of Orthologous Groups of proteins) to produce the genomic prediction of our S. chungbukensis DJ77. This analysis based on homologues search among completed genomes provides good initial step to our better assigning putative function to predicted coding sequences.
