Furthermore, we compared draft sequences generated by Illumina sequencing of six stocks of this strain, including the same original stock used to generate the PacBio sequence, held in different countries and found little genetic variation, with only three SNPs identified, all within the degS gene. However, sequences of two small plasmids, pARD3079 and p405tetH, detected by Illumina sequencing of the draft genomes were not identified in the PacBio sequence of the reference strain.enActinobacillus pleuropneumoniae SNPs serovar 8 reference genome500 - Science::570 - Life sciences; biology600 - Technology::630 - Agriculturearticle10.48350/1667593481814510.1099/mgen.0.000687
