This release of Rhesus macaque data is unassembled, so there are no chromosomes available to browse. Use BLAST and SSAHA to locate data.
A few example data points :
Mmul_0.1 is a preliminary assembly of the rhesus monkey, Macaca
mulatta, using whole genome shotgun (WGS) reads from small and medium
insert clones.
The release was produced by assembling whole genome shotgun reads with the Atlas genome assembly system at the Baylor College of Medicine Human Genome Sequencing Center. Several WGS libraries, with inserts of 2-4 kb and 10 kb were used to produce the data. Highly repeated sequences and sequences from BAC clones were omitted.
This is a draft sequence and may contain errors so users should exercise caution. Typical errors in draft genome sequences include misassemblies of repeated sequences, collapses of repeated regions, and unmerged overlaps (e.g. due to polymorphisms) creating artificial duplications. However base accuracy in contigs (contiguous blocks of sequence) is usually very high with most errors near the ends of contigs. [More about the assembly].
The gene set for macaque was built using an modified version of the ensembl pipeline. The species-specific resources for macaque are relatively limited, so we decided to take a combined approach utilizing macaque's great similarity to human to aid our annotation efforts. The gene structures are mainly based on alignments to macaque protein data and also use projected human gene structures. Both macaque and human cDNAs were used to add UTR structures, and finally gene predictions based on Uniprot proteins were used to fill gaps in the annotation.
