Abstract

A hybrid sequence assembly of the complete Mycoplasma synoviae type strain WVU 1853(T) genome was compared to that of strain MS53. The findings support prior conclusions about M. synoviae, based on the genome of that otherwise uncharacterized field strain, and provide the first evidence of epigenetic modifications in M. synoviae.
