Bacterial Genomes To Download

Question

[Lukas Pravda]

Hi guys,

I wonder if there're any up-to date publicly available genomes of bacteria, I could use as an input for Blast/Blat (fasta/2bit format) search. If so, would you send me links? I'm aware of database '16S ribosomal RNA sequences (Bacteria and Archaea)', however it's coverage is rather low. I appreciate your experiences.

EDIT: thank you guys, you've helped me a lot. It's a shame, that as an answer just one can be picked :)

It appears that you are a representative from repositive and want to advertise your platform. You should do so as a separate post under "tools" (listing all types of data available) rather than posting in older threads.
