Recent additions to UniGene include: Canis familiaris (dog) with 15,281 transcript sequences in 4,544 clusters, Helianthus annuus (sunflower), with 21,155 transcript sequences in 1,904 clusters, Salmo salar (Atlantic salmon), with 23,111 sequences in 1,050 clusters, Bombyx mori (domestic silkworm), with 60,481 sequences in 2,050 clusters, Apis mellifera (honey bee), with 14,386 transcripts in 5,190 clusters, Lotus corniculatus (Birdsfoot trefoil), with 59,678 transcripts in 8,158 clusters, Physcomitrella patens (physcomitrella moss) with 83,948 transcripts in 6,950 clusters, Lactuca sativa (garden lettuce) with 53,347 transcripts in 9,656 clusters, Malus x domestica (Apple) with 34,733 transcripts in 3,996 clusters, Hydra magnipapillata with 69,049 transcripts in 5,362 clusters, Populus tremula x Populus tremuloides (aspen) with 20,820 transcripts in 2,707 clusters, and Ovis aries (sheep) with 2,852 transcripts in 1,164 clusters.
