Cat Genome Sequencing: Felis catus

The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) supports a cat (Felis catus) genome sequencing project, led by Agencourt Biosciences Corporation to produce a 2-fold coverage of the cat genome, as part of a larger effort to sequence numerous mammals to a depth of 2-fold genome coverage."

Genome Sequencing Whitepaper Proposals:

• Felis catus (Submitted October 2002)
  
  
• Proposal to Annotate the Human Genome (Approved June 2004)
