Sequencing of the the Parhyale darvishi genome
n order to compare sequence conservation between Parhyale species, the genome of a Parhyale darvishi individual was sequenced using short read sequencing. The goal was not to assemble the genome sequence but only to align the reads to assembled Parhyale genomes, in order to identify islands of conserved sequences, which could be considered as putative cis-regulatory elements.
