15 May 2012 - New Fugu (fr3) Assembly Now Available in the Genome Browser
We are pleased to announce the release of a Genome Browser
for the October 2011 fugu, Takifugu rubripes
(JGI v5.0, UCSC version fr3). Whole genome shotgun assembly was provided by the
International Fugu Genome Sequencing
Consortium, led by JGI and the
Singapore Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (IMCB).
Bulk downloads of the sequence and annotation data are available via the Genome Browser
FTP server or the
Downloads page.
These data have specific conditions
for use. The fugu (fr3) browser annotation tracks were generated by UCSC and
collaborators worldwide. See the Credits page for a detailed list of the organizations and individuals who contributed
to the success of this release.
15 May 2012 - Naked Mole-Rat
Assembly Now Available in the Genome Browser
We are pleased to announce the release of a Genome Browser
for the July 2011 naked mole-rat, Heterocephalus glaber
(BGI version HetGla1.0, UCSC version hetGla1). This draft assembly,
produced by the
Beijing Genomics Institute, has been sequenced using
Illumina reads with a sequencing depth of >20x. There are
39,266 scaffolds with a total size of 2,643,961,837 bases.
- The N50 size of the scaffolds is 1,321,980,918 bases with 502
+ The N50 size of the scaffolds is 1,603,177 bases with 502
scaffolds larger, and 38,764 scaffolds smaller. The mitochondrial
sequence is also available as the virtual chromosome "chrM".
Bulk downloads of the sequence and annotation data are available
via the Genome Browser
FTP server or the
Downloads page. These data have
specific conditions for use. The naked mole-rat browser
annotation tracks were generated by UCSC and collaborators worldwide.

Credits page for a detailed list of the organizations and
individuals who contributed to the success of this release.
