Pristionchus pacificus. Pristionchus pacificus strain:PS312

The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) selected 18 new eukaryotic organisms to be sequenced (NIH News Release). The sequencing will be carried out by five centers in the NHGRI-supported large-scale sequencing research network: Agencourt Bioscience; Baylor College of Medicine; the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard; The Institute for Genomic Research; and the Washington University School of Medicine. The sequencing strategy is to obtain a ~6.5 coverage of the genome in plasmids and end sequence the available fosmid clones. AppaDB is a P.pacificus database (Max-Planck Institute), integrating genomic data with the physical map, genetic linkage map, EST and BAC end sequence, and hybridization data.
