Organism Ranking Common Name Scientific Name Chicken Gallus gallus High Priority Chimpanzee Pan troglodytes High Priority Cow Bos taurus High Priority Dog Canis familiaris High Priority Fungi Cryptococcus neoformans, Serotype A The entire proposal to sequence fifteen fungal species was given High Priority. GRASPP encouraged additional thought regarding the specific choices of species. The first seven species in this list were suggested for sequencing by the panel. However, the final choice is left to the submitters of the proposal. Pneumocystis carinii (human and mouse) Magnaporthe grisea Aspergillus nidulans Fusarium graminearum Coprinus cinereus Ustilago maydis Coccidiodes posadasii Trichophyton rubrum Rhizopus oryzae Aspergillus flavus Aspergillus terreus Neurospora discreta Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis Paxillus involutus Honey Bee Apis mellifera High Priority Ciliate Oxytricha trifallax (macronucleus equivalent micronucleus sequences) High Priority Sea Urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus High Priority Lower Metazoan Tetrahymena thermophila macronucleus High Priority Placozoa Trichoplax adhaerens Moderate Priority Rhesus Macaque Macaca mulatta Moderate Priority
