Ixodes Community Annotation - a chance to get involved. » |
| Posted by Daniel Lawson on July 11th, 2008
VectorBase encourages community scientists to contribute to the Ixodes annotation effort through submission of their own gene models. Community-generated gene models will be displayed as a separate manual annotation track in the Ixodes Genome Browser. Community annotations will also be considered for incorporation into the final Ixodes gene set, which is targeted for release at Vectorbase and GenBank in a few months.
Community scientists wishing to submit manual annotations may do so through the VectorBase Community Annotation Pipeline. An account is required to submit gene models. To sign-up for an account, click the “User” tab in the top-right corner of the VectorBase homepage. To submit a gene model, follow these instructions. For further information regarding submission of community annotations, please contact the Ixodes VectorBase Community Representative, Jason Meyer, at meyerjm@purdue.edu

Culex pipiens gene set CpipJ1.2 available » |
| Posted by Karyn Megy on July 11th, 2008
An update to the Culex pipiens gene set, CpipJ1.2, is now available at VectorBase.
Changes from the CpipJ1.1 set involved rectifying some issues with start and stop codons for 87 predictions and the removal of approx. 1,500 predictions which are not thought to represent real gene predictions. These are mostly small 1-2 exon models with no orthologs to any other species. This process involved extensive manual appraisal of prediction in tandem with bioinformatic approaches looking at potential bacterial and transposon-related sequences.
