Forum:Filling the sequence gaps

This is a place where I think we should discuss Filling the sequence gaps.

Reference genomes
According to Wikipedia, the following bird and reptile genomes have been sequenced:


 * Chicken (bird).
 * Turkey (bird).
 * Zebra finch (bird).
 * Mallard (bird).
 * Peregrine falcon (bird).
 * Saker falcon (bird).
 * Collared flycatcher (bird).
 * Pied flycatcher (bird).
 * Green sea turtle (reptile).
 * Soft-shelled turtle (reptile).
 * Green anole (reptile).

And while it isn't listed, I believe that the genome of the painted turtle has been sequenced as well, and the genomes of the saltwater crocodile, American alligator and gharial are currently in the process of being sequenced. Jurassic Park Treasury (talk) 08:46, September 18, 2013 (UTC)

If we deduce the DNA code by looking at the protein code, then that code isn't going to contain introns. Are introns important? Jurassic Park Treasury (talk) 08:46, September 18, 2013 (UTC)
