A total of 395 couples were subjected to IVF-PGD treatment, including 129 couples with NGS-based test and 266 couples with SNP array based test for the detection of embryonic chromosomal abnormalities. The NGS test was performed using low coverage whole genome sequencing with HiSeq 2000 platform. And the SNP array test was using Affymetrix Gene Chip Mapping Nsp I 262K. The average age of patients was 32.1 years (age range 20-44 years).

Here we provide the first de novo haplotype-resolved diploid genome sequence of an Asian individual using a unique de novo assembly pipeline. Our pipeline uses fosmid pooling and whole genome shotgun strategies, based on next generation sequencing (NGS) technology. The assembled genome contains 5.15 Gb, with a haplotype N50 of 484 kb. This haplotype-resolved genome represents the most complete genome assembly so far. Our analysis further identified previously undetected indels and novel coding sequences, and thus provides the most complete representation of an individuals genetic variation.
We generated ~614,850 fosmid clones ranging from 20 kb-80 kb with a mean of 36kb, approximately 30 fosmid clones were pooled and each pool had one or two DNA libraries sequenced using Hiseq 2000. In total, 1,712 Gb of raw sequence data was generated for all the pooled fosmid libraries. Please see the linked paper for assembly pipeline details. We then analysed the newly generated haploid-resolved diploid genome (HDG) for SNPs, INDELs, inversions and translocations, of which we identified 3,580,000 SNPs, 762,000 short INDELs (<50bp) and 30,000 long INDELs, 111 inversions and 168 translocations.

Updated genomic data from the YH (Homo sapiens) diploid genome the first sequenced Han Chinese individual, a representative of the Asian population. The genomic DNA used in this study came from an anonymous male Han Chinese individual who has no known genetic diseases.The original version of the YH genome was assembled based on 3.3 billion reads using the Illumina Genome Analyzer (see dataset doi:10.5524/100015). This latest (as of 07/2012) and improved version of the YH genome was assembled based on 2.1 billion reads using the Illumina HiSeq2000. A total of 202G nucleotides data was achieved using 100 bp-long paired end reads with an insert size ranging from 180 bp to 40 kbp, and the genome was sequenced to 67.5-fold average coverage. The latest version of SOAPdenovo2 was used to reassemble, improve and update the previously assembled genome (tools and pipelines available here: doi:10.5524/100044). By aligning the short reads with SOAP, 177G nucleotides were mapped onto the NCBI reference genome and 99.99% of the genome was covered. The raw sequences, assemblies and relevant tools are released for public use under a CC0 license.More information about the YH genome can be viewed at: http://yh.genomics.org.cn/

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.

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.

The methylome reported and analyzed here was generated from the same sample of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from a consented donor (Homo sapiens) whose genome was deciphered in the YH project. YH is an anonymous male Han Chinese individual who has no known genetic diseases, and whose genome also serves as an Asian reference genome.Nuclear DNA was extracted and subjected to unbiased, whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (BS-seq) using the Illumina Genome Analyzer. In total, 103.5 Gbp of paired-end sequence data were generated. Of these, 70.4 Gbp (68%) were successfully aligned to either strand of the YH genome with an average mismatch rate of 1.3%, resulting in an average sequencing depth of 12.3-fold per DNA strand or a 24.7-fold overall depth. Of the 18,962,679 CpGs present in the unique haploid part (2.21 Gb) of the YH reference genome sequence, approximately 99.86% were covered by at least one unambiguously mapped read of quality score >14 on either strand, and 92.62% were unambiguously covered on both strands.

Genomic data from the YH (Homo sapiens) genome first diploid genome sequence of a Han Chinese, a representative of the Asian population. The genomic DNA used in this study came from an anonymous male Han Chinese individual who has no known genetic diseases.The YH genome was assembled based on 3.3 billion reads using the Illumina Genome Analyzer. We achieved 117.7G nucleotides data and the genome was sequenced to 36-fold average coverage. By aligning the short reads with SOAP, 102.9G nucleotides were mapped onto the NCBI reference genome and 99.97% of the genome was covered.
