What's New?

We are happy to freely provide the entire Methanosarcina acetivorans fully-annotated genome:

DNA sequence (5.71Mb), available for download and Blast
Protein sequence (4526 genes), available for download and Blast
Graphical views of the annotated sequence, via
- FeatureMap: lightweight graphical viewer showing sequence, genes, protein families, and homologous proteins
- GenomeBrowser: more sophisticated, Java-based browser for viewing larger regions (requires Java plug-in, and not available on Macintosh)
Annotated Features, available for interactive search:

Find genes (based on name, locus, symbol abbreviation, genbank number, protein family domain, cellular functional category)
Find Open Reading Frames predicted by the microbial gene-finding tool GLIMMER
Find BLASTX alignments to protein sequences (NR)
Find BLASTN alignments to DNA sequences (NT)
Find protein domains, based on identifying PFAM and TIGRFAM domains using the HMMER program
Find TRNA sequences, based on results of the tRNAscan program

View genes categorized by cell function, KEGG Category, EC Number, Multigene Family, or PFAM domain.
