New Eukaryotic Genomes at NCBI
NCBI has created new Map Viewer displays for several organisms, in-cluding the honey bee, cat, and the fungi Eremothecium gossypii and Encephalitozoon cuniculi. In addition, new genome guides are available for the honey bee, cat, chicken, frog and sea urchin.
The Map Viewer display for Apis mellifera, the honey bee, includes a variety of sequence-based maps, such as maps for contigs, UniGene clusters, genes, and transcripts, as well as the Solignac microsatellite-based linkage map. The current honey bee genome build, Amel_1.1, is a composite of whole genome shotgun sequence and BAC sequence from clones isolated by a clone-array pooled strategy. The Apis mellifera whole genome shotgun (WGS) project has been assigned the project accession AADG00000000 and the Amel_1.1 assembly displayed and annotated in Map Viewer, is comprised of accessions AADG02000001-AADG020-30074.
The NCBI Map Viewer for Felis catus presents an RH map of the cat genome. The map contains 1,126 markers, including microsatellite-based markers and coding loci. An integrated genetic map is also included.
The sequencing, annotation, and analysis of the Eremothecium gossypii genome is described in Dietrich et al. Its chromosomes have been assigned RefSeq accessions NC_005782 to NC_005789. The sequenced-based maps- contig, gene, and transcript maps- are provided in the Map Viewer for this filamentous fungus.
The sequencing, annotation, and analysis of the Encephalitozoon cuniculi genome is described in Katinka et al. Its chromosomes have been assigned RefSeq accessions NC_003242, and NC_003229 to NC_003238. The contig and gene maps are available in the Map Viewer for this microsporidium.
New Genome Guide pages, created by NCBI in cooperation with the genomic research communities to provide links to an array of genome-specific resources, are available for honey bee, cat and chicken. These pages can be found at:
A Map Viewer display for the chicken genome, Gallus gallus, will be available soon, but the sequences deposited into GenBank under the whole genome shotgun (WGS) sequencing project accession AADN00000000 (accessions AADN01000001-AADN01111864), are available now in Entrez and on the GenBank FTP site within the “WGS” directory.
