P.1651 right column 3rd paragraph: "When the sequence of the 100-Mb genome of C. elegans was published in 1998 (The C. elegans Genome Sequencing Consortium 1998, [PMID 9851916]), very little important information was believed to be missing. Nonetheless, several recalcitrant gaps remained, and [researchers] had aimed from the start for a complete description of the content and structure of this benchmark genome. With persistence, [they] have now accumulated, by a variety of methods, the mapping and sequence information that completes the genome. The work behind this achievement is summarized in Text Box 1 link and described in more detail in the Supplemental material." |
