# The complete genome of Mycoplasmoides cavipharyngis strain 117C, a close relative of hemotrophic mycoplasma

## TL;DR

This paper presents the complete genome of a mycoplasma relative, which could help understand related infectious diseases.

## Contribution

The study provides the first complete and gapless genome sequence of Mycoplasmoides cavipharyngis strain 117C.

## Key findings

- The genome of strain 117C is a single circular chromosome of 1,034 kb.
- The genome was sequenced using Pacific Biosciences long-read technology.

## Abstract

Mycoplasmoides cavipharyngis is one of the closest relatives of the highly host-adapted and uncultivable hemotrophic mycoplasma. The complete genome of strain 117C was constructed from long-reads derived from Pacific Biosciences single-molecule, real-time sequencing technology. The genome is organized into one circular, gapless chromosome with a length of 1,034 kb.
