Abstract
Vibrio coralliilyticus RE22 is a causative agent of vibriosis in larval bivalves. We report here the draft genome sequence of V. coralliilyticus RE22 and describe additional virulence factors that may provide insight into its mechanism of pathogenicity.

V. coralliilyticus RE22Sm was grown overnight in yeast-peptone broth supplemented with 3% NaCl (YP30) at 27°C in a shaking water bath
DNA was sequenced at the Rhode Island Genomics Sequencing Center, Kingston, RI, using an Illumina MiSeq Sequencer
Summary
Vibrio coralliilyticus RE22 is a causative agent of vibriosis in larval bivalves. We report here the draft genome sequence of V. coralliilyticus RE22 and describe additional virulence factors that may provide insight into its mechanism of pathogenicity. Only two proteases (VtpA and VtpB) and one hemolysin (VthA) have been characterized in RE22 [5,6,7]. To better understand the mechanisms of pathogenicity, it is necessary to discover additional potential virulence factors. We announce the draft genome sequence of V. coralliilyticus RE22 and selectively describe some potential virulence factors.
