The Tasmanian devil, which is native to the island of Tasmania, is at risk of extinction due - to a transmissable facial cancer. The devil population in Tasmania has declined by more + to a transmissible facial cancer. The devil population in Tasmania has declined by more than 80% since the first time the disease was observed 14 years ago. This draft assembly, created by the <a href="http://www.sanger.ac.uk/" >Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute</a>, was sequenced using Illumina reads. This completed genome is the first step towards finding genetic mutations in the transmissible cancer, which will help researchers understand the disease and its spread. <P> Bulk downloads of the sequence and annotation data are available via the Genome Browser <A HREF="ftp://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/sarHar1/" TARGET=_blank >FTP server</A> or the <A HREF="http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/downloads.html#tasmanian_devil" TARGET=_blank >Downloads</A> page. The Tasmanian devil browser annotation tracks were generated by UCSC and collaborators worldwide. See the
