Can you help a friend of mine with this question about the cat genome? Jing
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: <[email protected]> Date: Thu, Jan 26, 2012 at 11:06 AM Subject: cat genome To: [email protected] Hi Jing,**** ** ** I had a question from a collaborator about the current state of the cat genome assembly that I was wondering if you had any insight about.**** ** ** The UCSC browser currently supports the Dec 2008 (NHGRI/GTB V17e/felCat4) version of the genome in addition to the 2006 (Broad/felCat3). My collaborator heard that WashU is doing more sequencing on the original Abyssinian cat and will be putting out a better assembly soon (the original assembly was based on only about 2.8X coverage).**** ** ** Since you’re at the epicenter of the UCSC browser scene, do you know anyone I could ask about pending releases of a new cat genome assembly?**** ** ** Thanks,**** ** ** Chris**** ** ** __________________________________________**** **** Christopher Kingsley, PhD**** Research Assistant Professor**** Diabetes, Cardiovascular & Metabolic Disease Division**** TGen, The Translational Genomics Research Institute**** 445 N. 5th Street, 5th Floor**** Phoenix, AZ 85004**** 602-343-8476 (Office)**** 602-343-8840 (Fax)**** Email: [email protected]**** ** ** _______________________________________________ Genome maillist - [email protected] https://lists.soe.ucsc.edu/mailman/listinfo/genome
