Patching Holes in the Chlamydomonas Genome
The Chlamydomonas genome has been sequenced, assembled, and annotated to produce a rich resource for genetics and molecular biology in this well-studied model organism. However, the current reference genome contains ∼1000 blocks of unknown sequence ('N-islands'), which are frequently placed in introns of annotated gene models. We developed a strategy to search for previously unknown exons hidde...
متن کاملTreasure hunting in the Chlamydomonas genome.
THE draft genome sequence of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii attracts an expanding community of researchers to the mysteries hidden in the 110 million bases that constitute the alga’s genome. The Chlamydomonas genome sequence did not materialize overnight—it had been a dream of the community long before it became a reality. After the foundation was laid by insightful forerunners that included Pete Le...
متن کاملThe Chlamydomonas genome project: a decade on.
The green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a popular unicellular organism for studying photosynthesis, cilia biogenesis, and micronutrient homeostasis. Ten years since its genome project was initiated an iterative process of improvements to the genome and gene predictions has propelled this organism to the forefront of the omics era. Housed at Phytozome, the plant genomics portal of the Joint ...
متن کاملMitochondrial genome sequence evolution in Chlamydomonas.
The mitochondrial genomes of the Chlorophyta exhibit significant diversity with respect to gene content and genome compactness; however, quantitative data on the rates of nucleotide substitution in mitochondrial DNA, which might help explain the origin of this diversity, are lacking. To gain insight into the evolutionary forces responsible for mitochondrial genome diversification, we sequenced ...
متن کاملTying down loose ends in the Chlamydomonas genome
The Chlamydomonas genome has been sequenced, assembled and annotated to produce a rich resource for genetics and molecular biology in this well-studied model organism. The annotated genome is very rich in open reading frames upstream of the annotated coding sequence (‘uORFs’): almost three quarters of the assigned transcripts have at least one uORF, and frequently more than one. This is problem...
