Significant progress has been achieved in sequencing animal genomes. The pig (Sus scrofa) genome sequencing is underway and we have generated, characterized and submitted to Gene Bank 76,903 high quality BAC end sequences (BESs) from the RPCI-44 and CHORI-242 porcine BAC libraries. BESs were analyzed using BLASTn similarity searches against the human genome (build 33) (E- value
