Species Information

The Helicobacter acinonychis str. Sheeba genome is 1.56 Million bp long and contains approximately 1660 predicted genes.

Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Epsilonproteobacteria; Campylobacterales; Helicobacteraceae; Helicobacter.

Sequencing: The sequence was released 06/28/2006 by the Penn State Univ., and was described in PLoS Genet 2:e120 (2006) Eppinger M, Baar C, Linz B, Raddatz G, Lanz C, et al.."Who ate whom? Adaptive Helicobacter genomic changes that accompanied a host jump from early humans to large felines."

Abstract: Helicobacter pylori infection of humans is so old that its population genetic structure reflects that of ancient human migrations. A closely related species, Helicobacter acinonychis, is specific for large felines, including cheetahs, lions, and tigers, whereas hosts more closely related to humans harbor more distantly related Helicobacter species. This observation suggests a jump between host species. But who ate whom and when did it happen? In order to resolve this question, we... [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).
