  • Sequencing of three cosmids from the C. elegans genome.
  • Identification of a high gene density within the sequenced cosmids.
  • Discovery of numerous genes with mammalian homologues.

    • Conclusions:

    • The developed strategy is suitable for large-scale genome sequencing.
    • The initial phase of C. elegans genome sequencing is progressing well.
    • The presence of mammalian homologues suggests conserved biological functions.
