Description:
The 97-megabase genomic sequence of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans reveals over 19,000 genes. More than 40 percent of the predicted protein products find significant matches in other organisms. There is a variety of repeated sequences, both local and dispersed. The distinctive distribution of some repeats and highly conserved genes provides evidence for a regional organization of the chromosomes.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉C. elegans Sequencing Consortium -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1998 Dec 11;282(5396):2012-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9851916" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
