Whole-genome shotgun assembly and comparison of human genome assemblies.
We report a whole-genome shotgun assembly (called WGSA) of the human genome generated at Celera in 2001. The Celera-generated shotgun data set consisted of 27 million sequencing reads organized in pairs by virtue of end-sequencing 2-kbp, 10-kbp, and 50-kbp inserts from shotgun clone libraries. The quality-trimmed reads covered the genome 5.3 times, and the inserts from which pairs of reads were...
متن کاملGenetic anchoring of whole-genome shotgun assemblies
The recent advances in sequencing throughput and genome assembly algorithms have established whole-genome shotgun (WGS) assemblies as the cornerstone of the genomic infrastructure for many species. WGS assemblies can be constructed with comparative ease and give a comprehensive representation of the gene space even of large and complex genomes. One major obstacle in utilizing WGS assemblies for...
متن کاملComparison of whole genome assemblies of the human genome.
A fundamental problem in the human genome project is uncovering the correct assembly of the human genome. Many studies, including transcriptional analysis, SNP detection and characterization, gene finding and EST clustering, use genome assemblies as templates so it is important to determine the consistency among the various whole genome assemblies. A comparison of the order and orientation of t...
متن کاملHuman whole-genome shotgun sequencing.
Large-scale sequencing of the human genome is now under way (Boguski et al. 1996; Marshall and Pennisi 1996). Although at the beginning of the Genome Project, many doubted the scientific value of sequencing the entire human genome, these doubts have evaporated almost entirely (Gibbs 1995; Olson 1995). Primary reasons for generating the human genomic sequence are listed in Table 1. The approach ...
متن کاملPhysical map-assisted whole-genome shotgun sequence assemblies.
We describe a targeted approach to improve the contiguity of whole-genome shotgun sequence (WGS) assemblies at run-time, using information from Bacterial Artificial Chromosome (BAC)-based physical maps. Clone sizes and overlaps derived from clone fingerprints are used for the calculation of length constraints between any two BAC neighbors sharing 40% of their size. These constraints are used to...
