Integrated transcription factor predictions for the
Dictyostelium purpureum genome
from the JGI.
The dictyostelids are a group of cellular slime molds, or social amoebae, which
belong to the amoebozoa supergroup of eukaryotes that form a sister clade to the
fungi and animals. Under normal growth conditions the dictyostelids take the
individual amoeba form, but under starvation they from multicellular organisms.
Further details.
Reclassified 8 domains.
Added 3 families to list of DBDs. From Pfam:
added SpoVT_AbrB (PF04014),
NAM (PF02365),
Pencillinase (PF03965).
Removed 6 familes from list of DBDs. From Pfam:
removed Bac_DnaA_C (PF08299),
C1_4 (PF07975),
and from SUPERFAMILY:
Hemolysin expression modulating protein HHA superfamily
(68990),
Hypothetical protein F93 family
(109674),
Transcriptional regulator Rrf2 family
(109699).
Added 8 Eukaryotic genomes, and updated 12 drosophilid genomes.
Including several newly sequenced fungal strains such as the Chytridiomycota
Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis JAM81.
12th May 2008
Added the transgenic papaya (Carica papaya) genome,
and over 50 prokaryote genomes.
Highlights among the prokaryote genomes include the first genome from the
Verrucomicrobia phyla (Opitutus terrae) of bacteria, and
the first genome from the Korarchaeota phyla (Candidatus Korarchaeum
cryptofilum) of archaea.
30th Apr 2008
Added the phytoplankton Emiliania huxleyi, which
is of interest because of it's production of polyketides with antimicrobial, antifungal, antiparasitic, antitumor and
agrochemical properties. Updated the beetle Tribolium castaneum
assignments as analysis of the genome sequence recently became available
[].
Updated the Schizosaccharomyces pombe genome.
