Draft genome sequence of Myxococcus xanthus wild-type strain DZ2, a model organism for predation and development. Genome Announcements 1(3): e00217-13.2169-8287http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:11181054Myxococcus xanthus is a member of the Myxococcales order within the Deltaproteobacteria subdivision. The myxobacteria reside in soil, have relatively large genomes, and display complex life cycles. Here, we report the whole-genome shotgun sequence of strain DZ2, which includes unique genes not found previously in strain DK1622.en-USJournal Article2013-10-1710.1128/genomeA.00217-13
