Assembly Info: * Assemblies of erecta, ananassae, mojavensis, virilis, grimshawi and willistoni are reconciliations of independent assemblies performed using Arachne and the Celera Assembler. The reconciliations were ca rried out by Aleksey Zimin and James Yorke at the University of Maryland. Some information on the recon ciliation process is described [1]here. * The assembly of yakuba was similarly reconciled from PCAP, Arachne and Celera assemblies. * The assembly of simulans is the "mosaic" assembly and was downloaded from Wash U. * Assemblies of persimilis and sechellia were performed with Arachne and downloaded directly from the Broad Insitute. * Assemblies of melanogaster and pseudoobscura are the published release 4.2 (mel) and 2.0 (pse) asse mblies. Sequence sources: * erecta, ananassae, mojavensis, virilis and grimshawi were sequenced by Agencourt * simulans and yakuba were sequenced by Washington University * sechellia and persimilis were sequenced by the Broad Institute * willistoni was sequenced by TIGR * melanogaster was sequenced by the Berkeley Drosophila Genome Project and Celera * pseudoobscura was sequenced by Baylor References 1. dspp-caf1-AssemblyReconciliation.pdf http://www.genome.umd.edu/ http://www.genome.umd.edu/projects.htm http://www.genome.umd.edu/reconciliation.htm
