New Saccharomyces resequencing assembly

Posted on February 21st, 2008 by Jason Stajich · No Comments

SGRP LogoDavid Carter at the Sanger Centre emailed a message that new assemblies of Saccharomyces strain resequencing project have been posted including a new three-way alignment of S. bayanus-S.paradoxus-S.cerevisiae. This updates the Dec 2007 release.

More updates on Saccharomyces resequencing project at Sanger

Posted on December 19th, 2007 by Jason Stajich · 1 Comment

I've paraphrased an email sent by David Carter to folks interested in Saccharomyces resequencing project. The latest version of the SGRP data is on the web site and ftp site. This release is somewhat provisional, and motivated more by the fact that we have a paper deadline coming up than by any claim to finality. It should be quite

Next gen sequencing technology

Posted on October 4th, 2007 by Jason Stajich · No Comments

Nature has an overview of what goes in and out of next generation sequencers with an interview with a smiling Chad Nusbaum from the Broad Institute. Most of these have been out and about for a while, but it seems that the hayride/bandwagon is starting to pick up more steam as GT's Genome Scan has several posts about sequencing referencing J. Craig V, George

Yeast resequencing data updated

Posted on March 15th, 2007 by Jason Stajich · 3 Comments

Image from http://www.bath.ac.uk/bio-sci/wheals2.htmThe Saccharomyces Genome Resequencing Project has completed " ABI sequencing of 32 S. cerevisiae strains and 27 S. paradoxus strains to a depth of between 1x and 3x". This is in collaboration with Ed Louis' group who have been working on number of really interesting fungal biology.
