| Method |
"[Researchers used] a whole-chromosome shotgun (WCS) strategy, partially purifying
each chromosome electrophoretically and treating it as a
separate project. This approach was supported by novel statistical
tools to recover chromosome specificity from the impure WCS
libraries, and by highly detailed HAPPY maps that provided a
framework for sequence assembly." |
| Comments |
"The six chromosomal assemblies span 33,817 kb (Table 1),
including ~156 kb in the form of clone-, sequence- and repeat
gaps. Assuming that most of the floating contigs lie beyond the
termini of the assemblies, the total genome size is estimated at
34,042,810 bp." |
