Status

v.1.0 (November 2007): The assembly release version 1.0 of whole genome shotgun reads was constructed with the Arachne assembler, using paired end sequencing reads at a coverage of ~8.54X. After trimming for vector and quality, this genome assembled into 39 main genome scaffolds totaling 43.9 MB. Roughly half of the genome is contained in 5 scaffolds all at least 4.0 Mbp in length.

The current draft release, version 1.0, includes a total of 11,184 gene models predicted and functionally annotated using the JGI annotation pipeline.
