[Genome] Rat chromosome Y?

[Ann Zweig]

Hello Karen,

	The current rat assembly does not include a Y chromosome.  I just checked the 
Baylor website and it looks like they have received funding for sequencing, 
among other things, the Y chrom.

"The HGSC is sequencing the genome of the rat (Rattus norvegicus). The rat has 
been funded for a genome upgrade. This includes finishing some regions to high 
quality, addressing the Y chromosome, and producing an improved genome assembly."


Regards,
