| - Construction of a zebra finch BAC library - Physical map of the zebra finch genome, including complete sequencing of 50community-selected targets - Whole genome sequencing of zebra finch | August 6, 2008 The 6x coverage zebra finch assembly from a single male is now available for download and BLAST queries at the following web site:http://www.genome.wustl.edu/. Select the following links in succession: genomes, other vertebrates, Taeniopygia guttata and sequences & maps. In addition to the assembly a BAC based physical map is available that contains 108,725 clones organized into 2,724 contigs, for a ~10X depth of coverage. The major genome browsers are now working on posting this assembly. A full gene annotation build by Ensembi is expected by November, 2008.
