whole genome shotgun sequencing of the little brown bat. Myotis lucifugus

The genome of Myotis lucifugus, the little brown bat, was sequenced to 2x coverage by whole genome shotgun sequencing by Broad Institute. Additional sequencing to produce 7x coverage is in progress. The M. lucifigus genome is one of several mammalian genomes being sequenced at low coverage to align to the human genome for comparative genomics analysis.

布罗德研究所（Broad Institute）采用全基因组鸟枪测序（whole genome shotgun sequencing）技术，对小棕蝠（Myotis lucifugus）的基因组完成了2倍覆盖度的测序。目前，旨在获得7倍覆盖度的补充测序工作正在进行中。小棕蝠基因组是当前正在开展低覆盖度测序的多种哺乳动物基因组之一，此类基因组将被用于比对人类基因组以进行比较基因组学分析。
