4/9/2009    Release of the annotation of the R. oryzae mitochondrial assembly

A full summary can be found here.

This annotated release presents:

  • A predicted protein gene set (23 genes)
  • Protein BLAST databases
  • Precomputed results of BlastX and HMMer Analyses
  • tRNA and rRNA predictions
  • Search and visualizations for all the features

10/13/2006    Rhizopus Optical Map Released

The optical maps for Rhizopus oryzae correspond to 52x physical coverage and consist of 15 linkage maps. This procedure mapped more than 96% of the assembled scaffolds, which corresponds to more than 95% of the optical map. Please view the maps here.

12/6/05    Release of the results of automated annotation

A full summary can be found here.

This annotated release presents:

  • A predicted protein gene set (17,467 genes)
  • Protein BLAST databases
  • Precomputed results of BlastX and HMMer Analyses
  • Alternative proteins predicted by various gene callers (Genewise, FgeneSH,FgeneSH+, GeneID)
  • tRNA predictions
  • Search and visualizations for all the features

8/15/2005    Initial release of assembly version 3

The initial release of assembly version 3 of the Rhizopus oryzae (RO3) and assembled R. oryzae mitochondria assembly. Relative to assembly version 1, this assembly (14X) contains 5.7 Mb of additional sequence with improved assembly quality (see assembly data). The improvements of the assembly were accomplished by creating additional Fosmid sequence reads and applying newly developed Arachne 3 algorithm. The sequence traces from the Broad Institute sequencing can be downloaded from the NCBI trace repository. The genome project has been deposited at GenBank under the project accession AACW01000000.

Important information about this release can be found here.

This release allows:

  • BLAST searches against our 10X genome assembly
  • Downloads of the consensus sequence and additional files for the genome assembly
  • Search and download a particular region of the genome assembly

There will be additional releases containing the annotation of predicted genes and other genomic features.
