The Plasmodium yoelii YM homepage on GeneDB

Version 1 of P. yoelii yoelii YM is now available

A first-pass assembly and annotation of P. yoelii yoelii YM is now publicly available on GeneDB (January 2012). The assembly was made using short-fragment Illumina reads and scaffolded with 454 paired-reads from a 3kb library. The assembly was computationally improved using PAGIT (http://www.sanger.ac.uk/resources/software/pagit/) and annotated by transfer from the P. berghei ANKA reference. Genes in subtelomeric regions were predicted ab initio. The annotation has been manually re-inspected genome-wide. EMBL and GFF format files can be downloaded from the FTP site.

A publication describing the new sequence is in preparation and permission should therefore be obtained before undertaking genome-scale or whole chromosome wide analyses.

This work was funded by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute and the European Union's 7th Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) under grant agreement n°242095. The DNA was provided by Tony Holder and Solabomi Ogun (Division of Parasitology, MRC National Institute for Medical Research, Mill Hill, London).
