List of sequenced eukaryotic genomes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This list of sequenced eukaryotic genomes contains all the eukaryotes known to have publicly available complete genome sequences that have been assembled, annotated and published; draft genomes are not included.

DNA was first sequenced in 1977, the genome of Haemophilus influenzae was the first genome of a free-living organism to be sequenced. In 1996 Saccharomyces cerevisiae was the first eukaryote genome sequence to be released and in 1998 the first genome sequence for a multicellular eukaryote, Caenorhabditis elegans, was released.
