Bos taurus
In 2009, cattle became one of the first livestock animals to have a fully mapped genome (UMD 3.1)[1]. The genome sequences were generated using a combination of BAC-by-BAC hierarchical (~11 million reads) and whole-genome shotgun (~24 million reads) sequencing methods, assembled using the Celera Assembler version 5.2. It has the following information:
● Number of Chromosomes: 31
● Number of Unplaced Scaffolds: 3,287
● Number of Protein-coding Genes: 19,994
● Number of transcripts: 26,740
