Indeed, using sequence entropy (Shannon information) as a measure of genomic complexity is obviously disingenuous given that under this approach the most complex sequence is a truly random one that, almost by definition is devoid of any biological information.
The HMP has generated the largest, most complex sequence data set from human microbial communities, with greater than seven terabases (about 70 billion sequences) of whole-genome shotgun data generated [ 2].
Second, while maximum likelihood can be a very accurate phylogeny estimator when the sequences evolve under the model assumed in the ML software, true biological datasets do not evolve under the idealized conditions reflected in even the most complex DNA sequence evolution models used in this experiment.
It is the most logistically complex sequence of the entire picture, culminating in the final confrontation between Cady and the Bowden family, on board a houseboat on the isolated waters near Cape Fear.
The GOS data set, which is currently by far the largest and most complex, contained sequences which were homologous with between 15.5% (for June 2007) and 18% (for November 2006) of the Lake Needwood data set.
The parting of the Red Sea is justly famous as the costliest, most complex special-effects sequence attempted up to its time; more impressive artistically, perhaps, is the 10th plague, in which the Angel of Death is imagined as a thick, green mist that creeps through the streets of the royal city, claiming the lives of Egypt's firstborn sons.
Thanks to the ultra-dense spacing of probes on the arrays we were able to break down such large chromosomal segments into smaller regions which differ in copy number values and most likely reflect complex sequence rearrangements.
At 702.9 Kbp in size, the C. mesostigmatica nucleomorph genome is the largest and the most complex nucleomorph genome sequenced to date.
Much of its impact derived from Pappano's ability to maintain clarity, balance and momentum when this immense work is at its loudest and most complex: so the battle sequence, for instance, sounded like a proper symphonic development, for once, rather than simply a cacophony.
The rover was scheduled to touch down in less than forty-eight hours, after the most complex and technically daring landing sequence in the history of the space program.
In early 2008, the Department of Energy-Joint Genome Institute (DOE-JGI) finished sequencing the soybean genome using a whole-genome shotgun approach [ 4], which makes soybean the most complex plant so far ever sequenced [ 5].
