Next Generation Sequencing

A new publication by Vera et al. describes the sequencing and assembly of a large number of expressed sequence tags from the Glanville fritillary butterfly.

The authors conclude that there is good new for the species that are not in the current genomics limelight , as…

454 sequencing, when performed to provide sufficient coverage depth, allows de novo transcriptome assembly and a fast, cost-effective, and reliable method for development of functional genomic tools for nonmodel species.
