In the ‘Status’ column, ‘Finished’ refers to published genomes without sequencing gaps and ‘Completed’ refers to genomes that are shotgun complete but still require gap closure. WGS = whole genome shotgun; clone based = sequenced on a clone by clone basis using physical maps; WCS/B = whole chromosome and BAC shotgun; WCS/Y = whole chromosome and YAC shotgun; EST = expressed sequence tag.
aDatasets to be added shortly.
