Tursiops truncatus Genome sequencing and assembly
The bottlenosed dolphin is being sequenced at ~2X coverage by the <a href="http://www.hgsc.bcm.tmc.edu/">Human Genome Sequencing Center</a> at the Baylor College of Medicine and the <a href="http://www.broad.mit.edu/node/296">Broad Institute</a> using a whole genome shotgun sequencing strategy. As a marine mammal, the genome sequence should provide greater depth to mammalian genome comparisons and a better understanding of mammalian genome evolution.
