AsteI1

The genome assembly presented here is preliminary. It represents a whole genome shotgun assembly of Roche 454 sequences generated in the laboratories of Zhijian Tu and Igor Sharakhov at Virginia Tech, USA. Dr. Yogesh Shouche at the National Centre for Cell Science, India, is also involved in this collaborative effort. The assembly totals 158Mb of sequence in 33,024 contigs and 6,150 scaffolds. As this version of the assembly is being annotated by VectorBase, an improved assembly was obtained at Virginia Tech and this has been submitted to GenBank. Future annotation refinement will be made using the new assembly.
