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:
“So while it is true that children are exposed to more information and a greater variety of experiences than were children of the past, it does not follow that they automatically become more sophisticated. We always know much more than we understand, and with the torrent of information to which young people are exposed, the gap between knowing and understanding, between experience and learning, has become even greater than it was in the past.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
