Trypanosoma vivax GeneDB

The Wellcome Trust, in collaboration with David Barry, Alberto Davila, Phelix Majiwa and Sara Melville, funded the Sanger Institute Pathogen Sequencing Unit (PSU) to partially shotgun sequence the nuclear genome of the livestock-infective Trypanosoma vivax. The current assembly consists of a ca. 5x whole genome shotgun which was further assembled/analysed by comparison to the T. brucei genome. Contigs from the T. vivax assembly were ordered using regions of conserved synteny with T. brucei chromosomes and, based on this, are represented here as 11 pseudomolecules. Product assignments were transferred between putative orthologues. Gene models are coloured according to their level of similarity to T. brucei coding sequences, where presumed orthologues are have been assigned a dark purple colour, models with similarity to T. brucei genes are represented in pale purple and T. vivax sequences without any apparent similarity to T. brucei genes are coloured pale blue.

Please note that the data are very preliminary.

We are aware of contaminating reads from the zebrafish genome in the dataset currently available via GeneDB. The reads have now been removed and contigs re-assembled. These contigs are available via the ftp site. We are currently sequencing a further 1x coverage (Nov 2005).
