Welcome to the Bovine Genome Resources page. This homepage provides information on bovine and bovine-related resources from NCBI and the research community. We encourage your suggestions. Just In... Sequence, assembly, annotation and analysis generated by the Bovine Genome Sequencing and Analysis Consortium has culminated in the release of the official publication for the bovine genome, now available in the journal Science. Additional links to Science, journals containing companion papers and other genome publications, and related resources are listed at our special Genome Publication and Press Portal, so be sure to visit.

Tips on Finding cDNA Clones NCBI offers hints on searching for clones from the NIH Mammalian Gene Collection (MGC) including clones for human, mouse, rat and bovine genes. Bovine Genome Updated In October 2007, the Bovine Genome Sequencing Project, led by the Baylor College of Medicine's Human Genome Sequencing Center, released the fourth version of the bovine genome assembly, Btau_4.0, which is a 7.15X mixed assembly that combines whole genome shotgun (WGS) sequence with BAC sequence. The sequence is available in GenBank, EMBL, and DDBJ, and by BLAST.
