This build includes annotation of the Btau_3.1 genome assembly from Baylor and a complete mitochondrial genome. The data can be viewed in Map Viewer: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mapview/map_search.cgi?taxid™13 downloaded by ftp: ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genomes/Bos_taurus/ and searched by BLAST: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genome/seq/BlastGen/BlastGen.cgi?taxid™13 A guide to bovine genome resources is available at: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/genome/guide/cow/ Please note two new items in this release: 1 -The Map Viewer includes a new BAC-end sequence map for build 3.1 (BES clone), e.g.: http://tinyurl.com/y3mehr 2 - The previous build, 2.1 based on Btau_2.0, is still available for display in Map Viewer: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mapview/map_search.cgi?taxid™13&build=prev ious The bovine BLAST page includes several databases from the previous build as well.
