This site presents the whole genome shotgun assembly from a female Sumatran
orangutan named Susie, housed at the Gladys Porter Zoo (Brownsville, TX).
The primary donor-derived reads were assembled using PCAP (Huang, 2006)
using stringent parameters; by aligning the orangutan genome against the
human genome, it was possible to identify interchromosomal cross-overs and
thus eliminate global mis-assemblies larger than 50kb.
Of the 3.09Gb of total sequence, 3.08Gb are ordered and oriented along the chromosomes. Gap sizes between supercontigs were estimated based on their size in human, with a maximum allowed gap size of 30kb.
The pre site has orangutan-specific protein and cDNA aligned to the genome along with the raw computes. We expect the full gene build to be ready in the spring of 2008.
