A Sanger / pyrosequencing hybrid approach for the generation of high - quality
draft assemblies of marine microbial genomes.
So declared President Bill Clinton in the East Room of the White House on June 26, 2000, at an event held to hail the completion of the
first draft assemblies of the human genome sequence by two fierce rivals, the publicly funded international Human Genome Project and its private - sector competitor Celera Genomics of Rockville, Md..
«Starting 2007, the first single - cell genomes from environmental cells appeared in public databases and they are
draft assemblies with fluctuations in the data quality.
A first
draft assembly of the band - tailed pigeon genome was constructed by a team at the Beijing Genomics Institute under researcher Guojie Zhang.
Some draft assemblies of the C. krusei genome had been produced prior to these researchers» work, but they were fragmented, a problem caused by a large amount of heterozygosity.
This approach allowed the team to assemble a much more complete genome sequence than
the draft assemblies of two other conifer species reported last year.
As genomic data production has ramped up over the past two decades and is being generated on various platforms around the world, scientists have worked together to establish definitions for terms such as «
draft assembly» and data collection standards that apply across the board.
