Complete Genome and Methylome Analysis of the Box-Shaped Halophilic Archaeon Haloarcula sinaiiensis ATCC 33800

The genome of halophilic archaeon Haloarcula sinaiiensis ATCC 33800 was sequenced and assembled and comprises seven replicons. Four m6A and one m4C modified motifs and their responsible methyltransferase genes have been identified in the genome by single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing and bioinformatic analysis.
