The rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) is an abundant primate species that diverged from
the ancestors of Homo sapiens about 25 million years ago. Because they are genetically and …

Using next-generation sequencing technology alone, we have successfully generated and
assembled a draft sequence of the giant panda genome. The assembled contigs (2.25 …

‘Orang-utan’ is derived from a Malay term meaning ‘man of the forest’ and aptly describes the
southeast Asian great apes native to Sumatra and Borneo. The orang-utan species, Pongo …

… γ, defined as γ = max t γ t , where γ t is the squared cosine of the angle … t (see [17]). In
defining genes as tissue specific for tissue t we required γ t >0.25 and γ t′ <0.125 for all t′ ≠ t…

Background We describe the genome of the western painted turtle, Chrysemys picta bellii,
one of the most widespread, abundant, and well-studied turtles. We place the genome into a …

The MinION device by Oxford Nanopore produces very long reads (reads over 100 kBp
were reported); however it suffers from high sequencing error rate. We present an open-source …
