Available here is the first draft genomic sequence of the duck (Anas platyrhynchos). Duck is a member of Anatidae, a family of birds that include geese and swans. However, duck is an economically important waterfowl serving as a source of meat, eggs and feathers; though, of special interest to agriculture and medicine is that fact that the duck is a principal natural host of influenza A viruses and harbours all subtypes of 16 haemagglutinin and 9 neuraminidase subtypes currently known, except for H13 and H16 subtypes.
Using llumina Genome Analyser sequencing technology the genome of a 10-week old female Beijing duck was sequenced and a total 77 Gb of paired-end reads (approximately 64-fold coverage of the whole genome) was generated with an average length of 50 bp. Using SOAPdenovo to combine short reads, a draft genome assembly was constructed consisting of 78,487 scaffolds and covered 1.1 Gb. The contig N50 and scaffold N50 values were 26 kb and 1.2 Mb respectively. Super scaffolds were constructed and chromosomal sequences created according to the duck genetic map this resulted in 47 superscaffolds which contained 225 scaffolds and spanned 289 Mb. Transcriptomes were also generated from several different tissues, comprising 1.87 million ESTs, and approximately 121 million 75-bp and 917 million 90-bp paired-end reads, which were generated using either the 454/Roche Life Sciences Analyzer or Illumina Genome sequencing technology.

The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is considered a symbol of China and is a much loved animal all around the world. It is also one of the worlds most endangered species, making it a flagship species for conservation efforts. As the first fully sequenced Ursidae and the second fully sequenced carnivore after the dog, the whole genome sequence and annotation data provide an unparalleled amount of information to aid in understanding the genetic and biological underpinnings of this unique species, and will help contribute to disease control and conservation efforts.In 2008, BGI completed a first draft of the genome sequence of a three-year old female giant panda named Jingjing, who was used as a model for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China (doi: 10.1038/nature08696). Using second-generation Illumina GA sequencing data, the first de novo genome assembly was created using short-read sequencing technology. Here you will find the giant panda genome sequence assembly as well as annotation information, such as gene structure and function, non-coding RNAs, and repeat elements. Also presented are polymorphism information detected in the diploid genome, including SNPs, indels, and structural variations (SVs). The assembly was done using SOAPdenovo software and the panda genome data is visualized via MapView, which is powered by the Google Web Toolkit.

The Chinese rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta lasiota) is a subspecies of rhesus macaques that mainly resides in western and central China. Due to their anatomical and physiological similarity with human beings, macaques are a common laboratory model. Also, as several macaques species have been sequenced, such as the Indian rhesus macaque and the crab-eating macaque, examination of the Chinese rhesus macaque (CR) genome offers interesting insights into the entire Macaca genus.The DNA sample for data sequencing and analyses was obtained from a five-year old female CR from southwestern China. The genome was sequenced on the IlluminaGAIIx platform, from which 142-Gb of high-quality sequence, representing 47-fold genome coverage for CR. The total size of the assembled CR genome was about 2.84 Gb, providing 47-fold on average. Scaffolds were assigned to the chromosomes according to the synteny displayed with the Indian rhesus macaque and human genome sequences. About 97% of the CR scaffolds could be placed onto chromosomes.

Here we present genomic data for the domestic cucumber (Cucumis sativus var. sativus L.). The cucumber is a member of the Cucurbitaceae or cucurbit family, a family of great agricultural and horticultural importance that also includes species such as melons, gourds and squashes. A biologically interesting as well as an economically relevant species, it is used as a model system for plant sex determination and vascular biology studies.The domestic cucumber has seven pairs of chromosomes and a haploid genome of 367 Mb, a smaller genome for the Cucurbitaceae family. The genome was sequenced and assembled with N50 contig and scaffold sizes of 19.8 Kb and 1.14 Mb, respectively. Using the genetic map, 72.8% of the assembled sequences were anchored onto the 7 chromosomes. A total of 26,682 genes were predicted in the current cucumber genome.

Available here is genomic data for the polyploid plant Brassica rapa ssp. pekinensis line Chiifu-401-42, a Chinese cabbage. As there are several oil and vegetable crop species in the Brassica family, this genome is of great agricultural relevance. It also provides an important resource for studying the evolution of polyploid genomes.The Brassica rapa Genome Sequencing Project Consortium assembled a 283.8 Mb genome estimated to cover >98% of the gene space. Using 72X coverage of paired short read sequences generated by Illumina GA II technology and 199,452 BAC-end sequences, 159 super scaffolds were produced, representing 90% of the assembled sequences with an N50 scaffold size of 1.97 Mb. Using genetic mapping of 1,427 markers in B. rapa, ten pseudo chromosomes that included 90% of the assembly were produced. A total of 41,174 protein-coding genes in the B. rapa genome were modeled, and the genome was found to have undergone genome triplication.

The crab-eating macaque (Macaca fascicularis), also known as the Java macaque or long-tailed macaque, is a species of primate located throughout Southeast Asia. Due to the frequent usage of the genus Macaca in scientific research, the sequence the crab-eating macaque furthers our understanding on how it differs from other macaque species, like the Chinese rhesus macaque and the Indian rhesus macaque. This is especially relevant considering the recent trend of using crab-eating macaque (CE) and Chinese rhesus macaques rather than the Indian rhesus macaque as laboratory models.The DNA sample for genome sequencing and analyses was from a female CE that was a captive-bred descendent of a CE from Vietnam. The genome was sequenced on the IlluminaGAIIx platform, and we obtained 162-Gb of high-quality sequence, representing 54-fold coverage. The sequencing data were processed with Illumina custom computational pipelines. The genome was de novo assembled using SOAPdenovo program based on the de Bruijn graph algorithm methods. The total size of the assembled genome was about 2.85 Gb, providing 54-fold coverage on average. The scaffolds were assigned to the chromosomes according to the synteny displayed with the Indian rhesus macaque and human genome sequences. About 92% of the CE scaffolds could be placed onto chromosomes.
