1 March 2011 - Updated Chimpanzee Browser Released

We are happy to announce the release of a Genome Browser for - the latest release of the chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) - genome. The Oct. 2010 assembly -- CGSC v2.1.3, - UCSC version panTro3 -- was produced by the + the latest release of the chimpanzee (Pan + troglodytes) genome. The Oct. 2010 assembly -- CGSC + v2.1.3, UCSC version panTro3 -- was produced by the Chimpanzee Sequencing and Analysis Consortium.

This assembly covers about 97 percent of the genome and is based on 6X sequence coverage. It comprises 192,898 contigs with an N50 length of 44 kb and 33,990 supercontigs with an N50 length of 8.4 Mb. Improvements introduced with the 2.1.3 assembly include the addition of over 300,000 finishing reads and the merging in of 640 finished BACS. Approximately 49,000 additional merges were made in this assembly as compared with the 2.1 assembly.

The whole genome shotgun data were derived primarily from
