Dog Genome Published by Researchers at TIGR, TCAG
New technique, partial shotgun-genome sequencing at 1.5X coverage (6.22 million reads) of genome, provides a useful, cost-effective way to increase number of large genomes analyzed
Analysis reveals that 650 million base pairs of DNA are shared between dog and humans including fragments of putative orthologs for 18,473 of 24,567 annotated human genes; Data provide necessary tools for identifying many human and dog disease genes

Affymetrix, TIGR and NIAID Join Forces to Fight SARS Virus
A new GeneChip庐 array from Affymetrix, Inc., that aims to catalyze research into the SARS virus is being made available to the research community through an innovative collaboration involving partners in the government, not-for-profit and business sectors. The arrays will be distributed at no cost to qualifying researchers through the Pathogen Functional Genomics Resource Center (PFGRC), which TIGR operates under contract with the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).
Twice as Many Predicted Genes in "Finished" Rice Chromosome
The smallest rice chromosome has nearly twice as many predicted genes as the draft DNA sequence had indicated, according to a new study by researchers at TIGR and collaborators. The "finished" sequence and analysis of rice Chromosome 10 confirms that the rice genome is closely similar to that of other grains particularly sorghum and maize. The study also offers a close look at the compacted short arm of the chromosome.
Genomic-Based Prospective Medicine Collaboration Announced by Duke University Medical Center and The Center for the Advancement of Genomics
