About the Nostoc sp 01/05/2002 (nostSp) assembly (sequences)

The Nostoc sp. PCC 7120 genome is 7.21 Million bp long and contains approximately 6214 predicted genes.

The sequence was released 01/05/2002 by the Kazusa, and was described in DNA Res :205-13; 227-53 (2001) Kaneko T, Nakamura Y, Wolk CP, Kuritz T, Sasamoto S, et al. "Complete genomic sequence of the filamentous nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120. "

Abstract: The nucleotide sequence of the entire genome of a filamentous cyanobacterium, Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120, was determined. The genome of Anabaena consisted of a single chromosome (6,413,771 bp) and six plasmids, designated pCC7120alpha (408,101 bp), pCC7120beta (186,614 bp), pCC7120gamma (101,965 bp), pCC7120delta (55,414 bp), pCC7120epsilon (40,340 bp), and pCC7120zeta (5,584 bp). The chromosome bears 5368 potential protein-encoding genes, four sets of rRNA genes, 48 tRNA genes... [Click above reference link for full abstract]

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).
