About the browser

The UCSC Microbial Genome Browser is a window on the biology of more than 400 microbial species from Archaea and Bacteria. Basic gene annotation is derived from NCBI Genbank/RefSeq entries, with overlays of sequence conservation across multiple species, nucleotide and protein motifs, non-coding RNA predictions, operon predictions, and other types of bioinformatic analyses. In addition, we display available gene expression data (microarray or high-throughput RNA sequencing). Direct contributions or notices of publication of functional genomic data or bioinformatic analyses from archaeal research labs are very welcome.

To get started, access the genome browsers using your favorite entry point:

1. Enter a partial genome name in Quick Search on this page, or
2. Search at the Genome Gateway pages
