characterization of an incomplete genome<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<P><SPAN class=021323820-14052004><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi
there,</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN class=021323820-14052004><FONT face="Arial Black">
<FONT face=Arial size=2>We have assembled a Yesinia pestis genome. However,
the genome is only 95% complete. We would like to to characterize
rearrangements, large, medium size indels, <FONT size=2> repeat
differences, gene differences by comparing it with a known complete

advice or comments.</FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>
