Hi all,
I've been working with the rheMac2 assembly for the rhesus monkey and have found it to be woefully deficient in a number of regions. The rheMac2 assembly is also about 5 years old and had low (3x-5x) coverage.
This seems strange considering that the Macaque is a model organism for a number of human diseases including HIV.
Does anyone know of a newer assembly or if any groups plan on resequencing the Macaque?
