Kazusa DNA Research Institute launched a project of sequencing the entire genome of an unicellular cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC6803 in 1994. The data that we gained through the project have been registered in public databases. But, it is not easy to properly grasp information on the cyanobacterium genome with only the information in the databases.
