show Abstracthide AbstractThe DNA for this project came from the following sources:<br><pre> Name Breed Reads <br> Pixel Burmese 331,813<br> Zeelie Persian 298,332<br> Tipper Cornish Rex 272,607<br> Scooter Ragdoll 298,409<br> Speedy Domestic Shorthair 310,364<br> Cocoa Siamese 293,712<br> Felix African wild cat 1,373,060<br> Cinnamon Abyssinian 8,186,934<br></pre> This assembly adds 0.9X coverage to the 1.9X coverage of cinnamon assembly (ANG00000000). The 0.9X coverage comes from six other breeds and one wild cat from paired-end fosmid ABI 3730 reads. All 2.8X coverage was assembled and mapped to the cat genome as described in the 1.9X cat genome publication. The primary goal of this project is to discover SNPs, however, the assembly was a necessary step, and should prove quite useful to the research community.
