The Mar. 2009 Callithrix jacchus draft assembly (WUGSC 3.2 (GCA_000004665.1)) was produced by the Washington University St. Louis (WUSTL) School of Medicine Genome Sequencing Center in St. Louis, MO, USA and the Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) Human Genome Sequencing Center in Houston, TX, USA.

### Sample position queries

A genome position can be specified by the accession number of a sequenced genomic region, an mRNA or EST, a chromosomal coordinate range, or keywords from the GenBank description of an mRNA. The following list shows examples of valid position queries for the Marmoset genome. See the User's Guide for more information.

Request: |  | Genome Browser Response:
--- | --- | ---
chr6_GL285171_random |  | Displays the non-localized contig GL285171
chr3:1-1000000 |  | Displays first million bases of chr 3
chr3:1000000+2000 |  | Displays a region of chr 3 that spans 2000 bases, starting with position 1000000
EF215130 |  | Displays region of mRNA with GenBank accession number EF215130

pseudogene |  | Lists RefSeq or mRNA pseudogenes
homeobox caudal |  | Lists mRNAs for caudal homeobox genes
zinc finger |  | Lists many zinc finger mRNAs
kruppel zinc finger |  | Lists only kruppel-like zinc fingers
Datson |  | Lists mRNAs deposited by scientist named Datson
Ouwendijk,W. |  | Lists mRNAs deposited by co-author W. Ouwendijk
Use this last format for author queries. Although GenBank requires the search format Ouwendijk W, internally it uses the format Ouwendijk,W..

### Assembly details

The C. jacchus genome was sequenced to 6X coverage using DNA from a female marmoset provided by the Southwestern National Primate Research Center in San Antonio, TX, USA. DNA from a full brother of the female was used as the source for the CHORI-259 BAC library. The combined sequence reads were assembled using PCAP and filtered for all known non-marmoset sequence contaminants and unscaffolded singleton contigs of less than 2 kb in length.

For more statistics and details on the assembly process, refer to the WUSTL Callithrix_jacchus-3.2 assembly information. There is no mitochondrial sequence available for the marmoset at this time.

Bulk downloads of the calJac3 sequence and annotations may be obtained from the Genome Browser FTP server or Downloads page. The sequence data can also be obtained directly from NCBI Genbank. See the WUSTL data use policy for conditions of use. Please acknowledge the WUSTL School of Medicine Genome Sequencing Center and the BCM Human Genome Sequencing Center in any publications that result from the use of this sequence assembly.

We'd like to thank WUSTL and BCM for providing this assembly. The initial set of marmoset browser annotation tracks were generated by UCSC. See the Credits page for a detailed list of the organizations and individuals who contributed to this release.
