Example Data Points

This release of Microcebus murinus data is assembled into scaffolds, so there are no chromosomes available to browse.

A few example data points :

• Scaffold: GeneScaffold_981
• Gene: CAV1_MICMU

About the Mouse Lemur genome

Assembly

This is the first release of the low-coverage 1.93X assembly of the mouse lemur (Microcebus murinus). The genome sequencing and assembly is provided by the Broad Institute.

The N50 size is the length such that 50% of the assembled genome lies in blocks of the N50 size or longer. The N50 length for supercontigs is 107.02 kb and is 3.51 kb for contigs. The total number of bases in supercontigs is 2.89 Gb and in contigs is 1.85 Gb.

Annotation

Owing to the fragmentary nature of this preliminary assembly, it was necessary to arrange some scaffolds into "gene-scaffold" super-structures,in order to present complete genes. There are 4903 such gene scaffolds, with identifiers of the form "GeneScaffold_1". This mouse lemur pre-release features analyses performed by Ensembl

Microcebus murinus News

• Non-coding genes
  These have been updated for most species, including an miRNA update and HGNC names where possible.
• Multiple alignments
  

  The multiple alignments are being extended with new species and 2X genomes.

• 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.
