only 2x -- pshaw... /kidding

Yeah, 2X is pretty abysmal. This is the first 2X assembly I'm aware of—I'm surprised they managed to *make* an assembly with the concomitant low accuracy.

What chromosome is the OMG gene located on?

posted by matildaben 23 February | 15:53

Third chromosome, upstream of the WTF gene.

Silly AlexReynolds, animals don't have WTF proteins!!! It's strictly a yeast deal.

OMG is the gene that expresses the oligodendrocyte-myelin glycoprotein precursor. I'm currently running a search for its bunny ortholog. I'll post the results in the morning.
