There are inherent challenges when utilizing sequence reads from various technologies to assemble a sequenced genome; data coming from different sequencers can have different characteristics.

It was also the first fully sequenced genome of a multicellular organism to be completed.

A flurry of interest in gene regulatory networks has been sparked by the advent of sequenced genomes of multiple organisms.

However, the cumulative number of orphan genes in sequenced genomes did not level off as time passed.

Currently, human and chimpanzees have the only sequenced genomes in the extended family of primates.
