  About the Gloeobacter violaceus 11/19/2003 (gloeViol) assembly (sequences)
  The Gloeobacter violaceus PCC 7421 genome is 4.66 Million bp long and contains approximately 4482 predicted genes.

The sequence was released 11/19/2003 by the Kazusa, and was described in DNA Res :137-45 (2003) Nakamura Y, Kaneko T, Sato S, Mimuro M, Miyashita H, et al.  "Complete genome structure of Gloeobacter violaceus PCC 7421, a cyanobacterium that lacks thylakoids. "
Abstract: The nucleotide sequence of the entire genome of a cyanobacterium Gloeobacter violaceus PCC 7421 was determined. The genome of G. violaceus was a single circular chromosome 4,659,019 bp long with an average GC content of 62%. No plasmid was detected. The chromosome comprises 4430 potential protein-encoding genes, one set of rRNA genes, 45 tRNA genes representing 44 tRNA species and genes for tmRNA, B subunit of RNase P, SRP RNA and 6Sa RNA. Forty-one percent of the potential... [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).
