New! A Eukaryotic Genome Annotation and Analysis Training Course is being offered at TIGR. More information and the registration form are available here. Tetrahymena NewsAn interim version of Annotation was released through TIGR's FTP site. Tetrahymena genome paper has been published in the september issue of PLoS Biology. Here is the link. Tetrahymena genome paper has been formally accepted for publication in PLoS Biology. Tetrahymena thermophila (AAGF00000000) Annotation has been submitted to GenBank. A second version of the closed scaffolds were released to the FTP site. The Closed_new directory contains contigs or chromosomes that have been closed and capped on both ends by telomers. Currently there are 53 scaffolds, spanning 32.6 Mbps New whole-genome assemblies have been released to the blast pageand theFTP site. Three assemblies were generated with Celera Assembler: one for reads corresponding to the rRNA chromosome, one for reads corresponding to the mitochondrial genome and one for the rest of the reads (the remaining macronuclear chromosomes). A README file is avialable on the ftp site. (News Archive) The Tetrahymena thermophila Genome Sequencing ProjectTIGR is sequencing the macronuclear genome of the ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila, a model organism for studies of eukaryotic cellular and molecular biology. T. thermophila like other ciliates, has two distinct nuclear genomes and the macronucleus is the primary location for gene expression. The macronucleus is composed of approximately 200 chromosomes and is being sequenced at TIGR using a whole genome shotgun approach. The T. thermophila genome sequence and annotation will be released on this web site and submitted to the public databases during the course of this project. In addition, a BLAST server allows retrieval of sequences from the preliminary contigs. Please read the data release policy regarding the use of T. thermophila sequence data obtained from this site. The project is a collaboration between TIGR, the University of California at Santa Barbara and Stanford University and is funded by grants from the National Science Foundation's Microbial Genome Sequencing Program and the National Institute of General Medical Sciences at the National Institutes of Health.
