  About the Methanopyrus kandleri April 2002 (methKand1) assembly (sequences)
 

Species Information

The Methanopyrus kandleri AV19 genome is 1.69 Million bp long and contains approximately 1729 predicted genes.

Taxonomy: Archaea; Euryarchaeota; Methanopyri; Methanopyrales; Methanopyraceae; Methanopyrus.

Sequencing: The sequence was released April 2002 by the Fidelity Systems, and was described in Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 99:4644-9 (2002) Slesarev AI, Mezhevaya KV, Makarova KS, Polushin NN, Shcherbinina OV, et al.."The complete genome of hyperthermophile Methanopyrus kandleri AV19 and monophyly of archaeal methanogens."

Abstract: We have determined the complete 1,694,969-nt sequence of the GC-rich genome of Methanopyrus kandleri by using a whole direct genome sequencing approach. This approach is based on unlinking of genomic DNA with the ThermoFidelase version of M. kandleri topoisomerase V and cycle sequencing directed by 2'-modified oligonucleotides (Fimers). Sequencing redundancy (3.3x) was sufficient to assemble the genome with less than one error per 40 kb. Using a combination of sequence database... [Click above reference link for full abstract]

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