  About the Chromobacterium violaceum 09/23/2003 (chroViol) assembly (sequences)
  The Chromobacterium violaceum ATCC 12472 genome is 4.75 Million bp long and contains approximately 4529 predicted genes.

The sequence was released 09/23/2003 by the LNCC - Laboratorio Nacional de Computacao Cientifica, and was described in Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A :11660-5 (2003)  "The complete genome sequence of Chromobacterium violaceum reveals remarkable and exploitable bacterial adaptability. "
Abstract: Chromobacterium violaceum is one of millions of species of free-living microorganisms that populate the soil and water in the extant areas of tropical biodiversity around the world. Its complete genome sequence reveals (i) extensive alternative pathways for energy generation, (ii) approximately 500 ORFs for transport-related proteins, (iii) complex and extensive systems for stress adaptation and motility, and (iv) widespread utilization of quorum sensing for control of inducible...

The Archaeal Genome Browsers at UCSC were developed by members of the Lowe Lab (Kevin Schneider, Katherine Pollard, Andy Pohl, Todd Lowe) and Robert Baertsch, with significant support from the UCSC Human Genome Browser group. The Archaeal Browsers are run by a slightly modified version of the UCSC Human Genome Browser system. All queries, bug reports, content corrections, suggested improvements, and new track data submissions should be sent to Todd Lowe (lowe @soe.ucsc.edu).
