The first bacterial whole genome to be sequenced was of the bacterium Haemophilus influenzae. The worm Caenorhabditis elegans was the first animal to have its whole genome sequenced. Drosophila melanogaster 's whole genome was sequenced in 2000. Arabidopsis thaliana was the first plant genome sequenced.
The first free-living organism to have its genome completely sequenced was the bacterium Haemophilus influenzae, in 1995. In 1996 Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast) was the first eukaryote genome sequence to be released and in 1998 the first genome sequence for a multicellular eukaryote, Caenorhabditis elegans , was released.
The first full DNA genome to be sequenced was that of bacteriophage φX174 in 1977. [51] Medical Research Council scientists deciphered the complete DNA sequence of the Epstein-Barr virus in 1984, finding it contained 172,282 nucleotides. Completion of the sequence marked a significant turning point in DNA sequencing because it was achieved ...
1995: The genome of bacterium Haemophilus influenzae is the first genome of a free living organism to be sequenced. [63] 1996: Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a yeast species, is the first eukaryote genome sequence to be released.
It was the first DNA-based genome to be sequenced. This work was completed by Fred Sanger and his team in 1977. [ 2 ] In 1962, Walter Fiers and Robert Sinsheimer had already demonstrated the physical, covalently closed circularity of ΦX174 DNA. [ 3 ]
The first genome to be sequenced was that of the virus φX174 in 1977; [4] the first genome sequence of a prokaryote (Haemophilus influenzae) was published in 1995; [5] the yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) genome was the first eukaryotic genome to be sequenced in 1996. [6]
This list of sequenced animal genomes contains animal species for which complete genome sequences have been assembled, annotated and published. Substantially complete draft genomes are included, but not partial genome sequences or organelle-only sequences. For all kingdoms, see the list of sequenced genomes.
Arabidopsis was the first plant to have its genome sequenced. [11] Its genome sequence, along with a wide range of information concerning Arabidopsis, is maintained by the TAIR database.
