The Caenorhabditis remanei genome was sequenced to a depth of 9.2X
using plasmid and fosmid libraries made with DNA extracted from a 
mixed population of females and males from all developmental stages.  
Coverage was based on an expected genome size of 130 Mb.   The 
whole-genome shotgun plasmid and fosmid paired end reads were assembled 
using PCAP (Genome Res. 13(9):2164-70 2003). The assembly can be 
downloaded from the GSC ftp site.  Sequencing is now complete on this project.

For answers to questions about this assembly or project, or any 
other GSC genome project, please visit our Genome Groups web page

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