# Whole-genome sequences of six Borrelia recurrentis strains obtained via PacBio sequencing

## TL;DR

This paper presents the whole-genome sequences of six Borrelia recurrentis strains linked to louse-borne relapsing fever.

## Contribution

The study provides new whole-genome sequences of six Borrelia recurrentis strains using PacBio sequencing.

## Key findings

- Each genome includes one linear chromosome and five linear plasmids.
- The average genome size is 1,284,895 bp with a GC content of 27.5%.

## Abstract

Provided are whole-genome sequences of six Borrelia recurrentis strains that had been earlier isolated from louse-borne relapsing fever patients. The sequences of each genome presented here included one linear chromosome and 5 linear plasmids, whose average size was 1,284,895 bp with the mean GC content being 27.5%.
