The Caenorhabditis remanei genome was sequenced to a depth of 9X using whole-genome shotgun plasmid
and fosmid libraries made from DNA extracted from a mixture of larvae and adult males and females.  
Coverage was based on an expected genome size of 100 Mb.  The whole-genome shotgun plasmid and fosmid
paired end reads were assembled using PCAP (Genome Res. 13(9):2164-70 2003) and submitted to GenBank
under the accession number AAGD00000000. The assembly can also be downloaded from the GSC ft site.  
Additional plasmid and fosmid coverage and primer-directed sequence improvement are ongoing at the GSC.  
A preliminary gene set is available on the WormBase Genome Browser 
(http://dev.wormbase.org/db/seq/gbrowse/remanei/).

Funding for the sequence characterization of the Drosophila simulans genome was provided 
by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), National Institutes of Health (NIH).
