About the Aedes aegypti genome

VectorBase Ensembl data and displays for Aedes aegypti are made possible through a joint effort by the Ensembl group and VectorBase, a NIAID Bioinformatics Resource Center. Please access this genome and other resources via the browser at:

Assembly

A.aegypti Aedes aegypti is the primary mosquito vector responsible for the transmission of both the yellow fever and dengue fever viruses.

The Aedes aegypti Liverpool LVP strain genome sequence is a joint effort between the Broad Institute and The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR). Assembly of 8x shotgun coverage was performed using the Broad's whole genome assembly package ARACHNE. The assembly presented here (AaegL1, August 2005) consists of 4,758 supercontigs, totalling 1.3 Gigabases, with a Contig N50 of 82 Kb and supercontig N50 size of 1,500 Kb.

Annotation

The annotation of the Aedes genome is a collaboration between VectorBase and TIGR. Each group generated a set of gene predictions which were merged into a single canonical set (AaegL1.1). See the brief overview for details of how each set was generated. The merging strategy will be described in the genome paper (in preparation).

Aedes aegypti News

There is no Aedes aegypti-specific news this release.

General News

  • Canonical Transcripts

    Canonical transcripts have been defined for all genes in the core databases.

  • SSAHA
    From release 50 we will no longer be providing SSAHA sequence search. If you wish to run your own SSAHA sequence search you can download the files to generate the search hashes from our FTP site.
  • Projections of gene names and GO terms
    These have been done as usual, between a variety of species.
  • Stored peptide stats
    In order to improve efficiency on ProtView, peptide statistics are now calculated in advance and stored as translation attributes, instead of being calculated on the fly.
  • Translation attributes for initial met and stop
    A script has been created and run which assigns translation attributes (value 1/0) depending on whether the translation has an initial methionine, and another depending on whether the transcript has a stop codon.
