Whole genome sequences of <i>Yersinia pestis</i> strains of ancient phylogenetic branch 0.ANT5 isolated in the 21st century in the Tien-Shan in Kyrgyzstan
We announce the whole genome hybrid sequences of 11 highly virulent <i>Yersinia pestis</i> strains of the ancient phylogenetic branch 0.ANT5, one of the closest to the strains of the First Plague Pandemic. Nine strains were isolated in 2013-2023 and two in 1953 and 1971 in the Tien Shan plague focus in Kyrgyzstan.
