Neurospora crassa Sequence Release 6 represents the improved quality of the genome sequence resulting from ongoing laboratory and computer finishing work.
The goal of our finishing work has been to manually review and edit all sequence to achieve a uniform quality standard across the entire sequence and to close sequence gaps, those gaps that are spanned by one of our many different subclone types (either plasmid, cosmid, Fosmid, or BAC). In Sequence Release 6 all but 37 of the original 674 sequence gaps have been closed and, with the exception of a few regions containing ambiguous bases, the entire sequence has been brought to "finished" standards. This sequence release will serve as the basis for future releases and gene predictions.

By popular demand, we've made available a large single image of the Neurospora crassa genetic map that you can print out onto a poster.

- New Blast databases are available!
- The Advanced Search for Annotated Genes now has options to search for genes with overlapping HMMER, BlastX or BlastN features.
- Feature detail pages now include protein-based PFAM results.
- We now offer the
protein-based PFAM results when searching for genes by PFAM domain, in
the Advanced Search for Annotated Genes and the gene index of Genes by PFAM.
The Feature Search mechanism provides access to the results of the DNA analyses, thus the HMMER Feature Search will show the results of the DNA-based HMMER program. See the FAQ for more details.
Other Recent Updates
Look and Feel!
You will notice that the site looks different! We have redesigned the Neurospora site to fit within the new Broad Institute website. Links at the top and bottom of the page now offer you easy access to other institute resources.3/29/02: Find ESTs (including many recently sequenced at the Broad Institute)
