Genome sequencing of the midge Chironomus tentans
The polytene nuclei of the dipteran species Chironomus tentans with its Balbiani ring genes has for a long time been used as a model species to study spatial and temporal features of eukaryotic gene expression. We report the sequence of the C. tentans genome and its RNA transcripts.
