CHOK1S_HZD assembly for CHO-K1 cells isolated from Cri Gri. CHOK1S_HZD

The Chinese Hamster Ovary cell line (CHO-K1S GS null) assembly, covering more than 90% of the genome is provided by Horizon Discovery and Welcome Trust Sanger Institute. The strategy for the CHOseq project used a hybrid approach with Illumina short range, Illumina long range with Dovetail Chicago library and Bionanogenomics optical mapping to construct the genome. The genome was assembled with Dovetail Genomics HiRise assembly and gene annotation performed using the Ensembl pipeline by Eagle Genomics.
