The rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) is an important model organism for biomedical research and behavioral studies. The genome sequence of the rhesus macaque will enrich our understanding of primate biology and evolution and will greatly facilitate the discovery of genetic traits that have uniquely arisen within the human lineage.

The genome sequence of the rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) has been published in the April 13, 2007 issue of Science magazine. Download the paper and other information from Science's free online collection of information about the rhesus macaque genome.
NCBI's annotation of the (Macaca mulatta) genome, Mmu_1.1, and the RH map of Murphy et al. are now available in Map Viewer! You can browse the genome, search based on gene symbols or names, BLAST against the genome assembly, or find markers on the RH map. The annotation is on the 2006 rhesus macaque 6X assembly, Mmul_051212, generated by the Baylor University College of Medicine Human Genome Sequencing Center, the J. Craig Venter Institute Joint Technology Center, and the Genome Sequencing Center at Washington University, St. Louis. The assembly sequence are available in GenBank, EMBL, and DDBJ, and by BLAST.

ANNOUNCING the release of the rhesus macaque genome assembly (NCBI build 1.1, based on Mmul_051212) in Map Viewer. Take a moment to BLAST your favorite gene sequence against the genome and explore the maps available for viewing. Learn more about the Gnomon gene prediction program and the resulting models available in Map Viewer.
