Sequencing Information
The S. kluyveri genome was originally sequenced in 2002 to approximately 3.5X whole genome shotgun (WGS) coverage in collaboration with Mark Johnston in the Department of Genetics. We have now completed an additional 4X coverage of the genome including WGS and 25X clone coverage of fosmid end sequence templates, yielding a total of 7.5X genome coverage. Manual and automated finishing are ongoing, with 10,000 reactions planned. The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), National Institutes of Health (NIH), provided the funding for the genome sequence.

Famous quotes containing the word information:
“Rejecting all organs of information ... but my senses, I rid myself of the Pyrrhonisms with which an indulgence in speculations hyperphysical and antiphysical so uselessly occupy and disquiet the mind.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
