More...The reference sequence (RefSeq) genome assembly is provided by NCBI using assembly instructions from the Washington University School of Medicine Genome Sequencing Center, St. Louis. Sequences were obtained from plasmids, fosmids, and BAC-end sequences from the CHORI-276 library derived from a Sumatran orangutan named "Susie"
The two former subspecies of orangutan, Bornean
Pongo pygmaeus pygmaeus and Sumatran
P. pygmaeus abelii, have recently been promoted to distinct Sumatran (
P. abelii) and Bornean (
P. pygmaeus) orangutan species. The
Pongo abelii haploid genome is estimated to be 3090 Mb. The diploid genome is organized in 23 pairs of autosomes and two sex chromosomes. Human chromosome 2 is a fusion of orangutan chromosomes 2A and 2B.
