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:
“Computers are good at swift, accurate computation and at storing great masses of information. The brain, on the other hand, is not as efficient a number cruncher and its memory is often highly fallible; a basic inexactness is built into its design. The brain’s strong point is its flexibility. It is unsurpassed at making shrewd guesses and at grasping the total meaning of information presented to it.”
—Jeremy Campbell (b. 1931)
