show Abstracthide AbstractThe <i>Procavia capensis</i> genome is being sequenced at ~2X coverage by the <a href="http://www.hgsc.bcm.tmc.edu/">Human Genome Sequencing Center</a> at the Baylor College of Medicine and the <a href="http://www.broad.mit.edu/node/296">Broad Institute</a> using a whole genome shotgun sequencing strategy. The genome sequence of the cape rock hyrax, Procavia capensis, will provide information about early mammalian evolution.
