Data for "Evolution upon leather manufacturing: comparison of the two Halobacterium salinarum strains isolated in the early 20-th century with the twin laboratory strains NRC-1 and R1"

This set of files contains data associated with the emerging manuscript
"Evolution upon leather manufacturing: comparison of the two
 Halobacterium salinarum strains isolated in the early 20-th century
 with the twin laboratory strains NRC-1 and R1."
by Friedhelm Pfeiffer and Mike Dyall-Smith.

The manuscript provides a detailed comparison of the complete genome
sequences from four strains of Halobacterium salinarum:
91-R6 (NRC 34002, the type strain of Halobacterium salinarum);
63-R2 (NRC 34001, a strain originally reported as 'cutirubra');
NRC-1 and R1 (two laboratory strains).

A detailed comparison of the complete genome sequences of three strains
(excluding 63-R2) has been previously reported:
Microbiologyopen (2020) 9: e974 (doi: 10.1002/mbo3.974; PMID:31797576).

The 'seq_' series of files contains newly reported sequences of
episomal plasmids (pHcu190, pHcu229) and plasmid integrants into
the chromosome (contigDRAFT1, contigDRAFT2) from strain 63-R2.

There are two versions for pHcu229, as this plasmid could only
be partially assembled (_asAssembled, 170458 bp) but could be
completed in silico (_inSilicoCompleted, 229124 bp).

The 'tagMGE_' series of files contains the sequences of all
replicons (the main chromosome and all plasmids) with markup
of all mobile genetic elements (MGEs) for each of the
four strains of Halobacterium salinarum.

The file dbHsAllStrainsTotal.fasta contains the complete sequences
of the chromosomes and plasmids in a single file.

The dbHsAllStrainsCore.fasta contains the same set of sequences but
with strain-specific copies of mobile genetic elements removed. This
version was generated to facilitate inter-strain sequence comparison.
