Credit: Irving Geis/HHMIĪ bold project to read the complete genetic sequences of every known vertebrate species reaches its first milestone by publishing new methods and the first 25 high-quality genomes. The animals span all major classes of vertebrates. New DNA sequencing technologies and assembly methods let researchers read the entire genomes of 25 species: pale spear-nosed bat, greater horseshoe bat, Egyptian fruit bat, greater mouse-eared bat, Kuhl’s pipistrelle bat, velvety free-tailed bat, Canada lynx, marmoset, vaquita, platypus, echidna, zebra finch, kākāpō, Anna’s hummingbird, domestic duck, emu, Goode’s thornscrub tortoise, two-lined caecilian, zig-zag eel, climbing perch, flier cichlid, eastern happy cichlid, channel bull blenny, blunt-snouted clingfish, and thorny skate.
