Here is a relevant report I wrote for internal circulation a
few months ago. Note that a few large chunks of sequeunce
have been deposited into Genbank since then.
September 30, 1995
Here's a run-down on the progress of sequencing the human
genome to date (Genbank Release 90.0), considering only DNA (i.e. no
mRNA, RNA or ss-DNA):
Number of Contigs Greater Than Total Length in these Contigs
40 kb 27 2.60 Mb
30 kb 59 3.74 Mb
20 kb 86 4.40 Mb
10 kb 240 6.50 Mb
5 kb 631 9.15 Mb
1 kb 4115 16.59 Mb
Note on table interpretation: There are 59 contigs greater than 30kb,
not 27+59.
Considering contigs greater than 10 kb as being useful for building
the Human Genome sequence, that makes roughly (6.50 Mb)/(3 Gb)=0.22% of
the genome sequenced to date.
Here are the loci greater than 40kb:
