Comparative cost of RNA-seq vs sequencing full length cDNAs "Do you have a specific goal?" The PI of this genome project is primarily interested in the intersection of evolution, genomics, and behavior, and uses several species of social insects as model organisms for these subjects. |

Comparative cost of RNA-seq vs sequencing full length cDNAs "What kind of organism?" It's eukaryotic, a social insect to be precise. "Is there a good existing reference genome for you organism?" As I said, this is a non-model species, so I am the one assembling the genome. I don't know what your criteria are for a "good" genome: no physical mapping, gap filling, etc has been done yet, but the assembled sequence is close to the expected genome size and preliminary annotations have identified about the number of genes we would expect (perhaps a little bit less). |

Would two species of yeast with similar genome sizes have the same number of genes or chromosomes? I'm doubtful regarding your premise. See my related comment on this thread. |

Could a fetus properly develop in micro/zero-gravity? Let me just say, it would be awesome to be the first scientist to breed mice in space. Just sayin... |
