Sphaeroforma arctica JP610 genome sequence project. Sphaeroforma arctica JP610

A high-density coverage of the Sphaeroforma arctica genome sequence is expected. The sequencing of the S. arctica genome is part of an international effort dedicated to study genome evolution and whose goal is to determine the genes responsible for the origins of multicellular organisms. The genome of this organism will be sequenced at the Broad Institute of the Massachusetts Institute of Tecnology and Harvard.

本研究预期对北极球囊菌（Sphaeroforma arctica）的基因组序列开展高密度覆盖测序。该物种的基因组测序工作隶属于一项致力于基因组演化研究的国际合作项目，其核心目标为鉴定与多细胞生物起源相关的基因。此项基因组测序任务将由麻省理工学院与哈佛大学共建的布罗德研究所（Broad Institute）承接执行。
