ANNOUNCING euGenes update July 2002
Genomic Information for Eukaryotic Organisms
euGenes is a genome information system that provides a
common summary of genes and genomes of eukaryotes.
It summarizes 8 eukaryote genomes, over 180,000 genes
and 850,000 features on 3.7 gigabases of genomic sequence.
Recent additions include
> Mosquito genome
> Updates to genome sequences, features and maps, reference
proteins, and gene homologies
> BioDAS genome annotation access
> Light-weight Directory access (LDAP) for Grid computing
(experimental)
Highlights of the project include
* 8 eukaryote genomes: human, fruitfly, worm, mouse, yeast,
mustard weed, zebrafish, mosquito
* primary information on all known protein coding genes in these
* whole-genome maps with feature annotations, chromosome
locations and molecular data
* consistant gene symbols, identifiers, and known synonyms
* homologies link common genes among these organisms
* common vocabulary of molecular function, process and cell
location (Gene Ontology)
