Chlamy genome investigations

By Jason Stajich, on May 26th, 2008

This month’s Genetics has a series of articles exploring the genome (published last year & freely available at Science) of the green algae [[Chlamydomonas reinhardtii]]. These manuscripts are primarily genome analyses making for a very bioinformatics focused issue of Genetics. Some of the highlights include:

B. dendrobatidis strain JAM81 released

By Jason Stajich, on March 6th, 2008

The following is an announcement to the B.dendrobatidis and fungal community at large from Alan Kuo at JGI. This is the JAM81 strain (Jess Morgan collected from a frog in the California Sierra Nevada). The JEL423 (Joyce Longcore, collected in Panama) strain genome sequence and annotation is available from the Broad Institute.

Splicing machinery and introns

By Jason Stajich, on February 5th, 2007

Splicing of pre-messenger RNA is necessary to remove introns and create well formed and translateable mRNA, but the purpose of introns still remains a mystery. One idea is they provide a role in the error checking machinery, or Nonsense Mediated Decay (NMD), by providing way-points during translation. A protein is deposited at the exon [...]

Whole genome tiling arrays

By Jason Stajich, on February 1st, 2007

A recent paper describes the discovery of 9 new introns in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by Ron Davis’s group at Stanford, using high density tiling arrays from Affymetrix. The arrays are designed for both strands allow the detection of transcripts transcribed from both strands. The arrays were also put to work by the Davis and Steinmetz [...]
