Comparative Assembly Freeze 1 (CAF1) of all 12 genomes is now available for downlaod

Assembly Info:

  • Assemblies of erecta, ananassae, mojavensis, virilis, grimshawi and willistoni are reconciliations of independent assemblies performed using Arachne and the Celera Assembler. The reconciliations were carried out by Aleksey Zimin and James Yorke at the University of Maryland. Some information on the reconciliation process is described here.
  • The assembly of simulans is the "mosaic" assembly and was downloaded from Wash U.
  • Assemblies of persimilis and sechellia were performed with Arachne and downloaded directly from the Broad Institute.
  • The assembly of melanogaster is the published release 4.2.
  • There are two versions of assemblies for yakuba and pseudoobscura. There are the manually curated assemblies from the genome centers (freeze 2.0 for pse from BHGC, and DroYak2.1 from Wash U for yak), and there are reconciled versions of each of these assemblies (reconciled against Arachne/Celera assemblies). These assemblies are very similar, but differ subtly and we would like one of the targets of the first round of analyses to compare these assemblies. The reconciliation process has clearly improved areas of each assembly, but may have altered some manually curated regions.
