The Bacillus subtilis subsp. subtilis str. 168 genome is 4.21 Million bp long and contains approximately 4225
predicted genes.
The sequence was released 12/31/1997 by the BSNR, and was described
in Nature :249-56 (1997) Kunst F, Ogasawara N, Moszer I, Albertini AM, Alloni G, et al. "The complete genome sequence of the gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis.
"
Abstract: Bacillus subtilis is the best-characterized member of the Gram-positive bacteria. Its genome of 4,214,810 base pairs comprises 4,100 protein-coding genes. Of these protein-coding genes, 53% are represented once, while a quarter of the genome corresponds to several gene families that have been greatly expanded by gene duplication, the largest family containing 77 putative ATP-binding transport proteins. In addition, a large proportion of the genetic capacity is devoted to the... [Click above reference link for full abstract]

Sample position queries
A genome position can be specified by chromosomal coordinate range, COG
ID, or keywords from the GenBank or TIGR description of a gene.
The available chromosome/plasmid names are:
| Browser Chrom/Plasmid Name | Length (bp) | GC Content (%) | Gene Count | NCBI RefSeq Accession |
|---|
| chr | 4214630 | 43.52 | 4225 | NC_000964 |
The following list shows examples of valid position queries for this
genome:
| Request: | Genome Browser Response: |
|---|
| chr | Displays the entire sequence "chr" in the browser window |
| chr:1-10000 | Displays first ten thousand bases of the sequence "chr" |
| transporter | Lists all genes with "transporter" in the name or description |
| BSU00100 | Display genome at position of gene BSU00100 |
