The October 2007 Bos Taurus draft assembly
(Baylor release Btau_4.0) was produced by the
Baylor College of Medicine Human Genome Sequencing Center.

Sample position queries
A genome position can be specified by the accession number of a
sequenced genomic region, an mRNA or EST, a chromosomal coordinate
range, or keywords from the GenBank description of an mRNA. The
following list shows examples of valid position queries for the
Cow genome. See the
User's Guide for more information.

Assembly details
The Btau_4.0 release was produced by the Atlas genome assembly system at
Baylor College of Medicine Human Genome Sequencing Center. The sequencing
strategy combined BAC shotgun reads with whole genome shotgun reads from
small insert libraries as well as BAC end sequences. The assembly contains
chromosomes 1-29 and X as well as 11869 scaffolds (named chrUn.004.*).
The mitochondrial sequence (chrM) was obtained from Genbank
accession GI:60101824.
The Btau_4.0 assembly (7.1x coverage) was tested against available
bovine sequence data sets
(EST sequences and finished BAC sequences) for extent of coverage
(completeness). When assembled contigs were tested, over 95% of the sequences
in these data sets were found to be represented, indicating that the shotgun
libraries used to sequence the genome were comprehensive. Of the 1.04 million
EST sequences 95.0% were contained in the assembled contigs. Assuming the ESTs
are uniformly distributed throughout the genome, the estimated genome size is
2.73 Gb/95% = 2.87 Gb.
For detailed information on the sequencing and assembly techniques,
see the Readme file that accompanies this release and the Baylor
Bovine Genome Project web page.
Bulk downloads of the sequence and annotation data are available via
the Genome Browser
FTP
server or the
Downloads
page. These data have specific
conditions for use.
The bosTau4 annotation tracks were generated by UCSC and
collaborators worldwide. See the
Credits
page for a detailed list of the organizations and individuals who contributed
to this release.
Genbank Pipeline Details
For the purposes of the Genbank alignment pipeline, this assembly is considered to be: well-ordered.
