Species InformationThe Ignicoccus hospitalis KIN4-I genome is 1.30 Million bp long and contains approximately 1492 predicted genes. I. hospitalis is a chemolithoautotrophic, hyperthermophilic crenarchaeon that was isolated from a submarine hydrothermal system at the Kolbeinsey Ridge, to the north of Iceland (Paper et al., Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2007, 57:803-808). It is the only organism known so far which is able to serve as a host for 'Nanoarchaeum equitans', the only cultivated member of the Nanoarchaeota. The genome sequencing was a collaboration between Diversa and the Joint Genome Institute, publicly available here. Draft annotation within the genome browser is available from Oak Ridge National Labs.
Taxonomy: Archaea; Crenarchaeota; Thermoprotei; Desulfurococcales; Desulfurococcaceae; Ignicoccus.
The most recent genome sequence draft was released 08/29/2007 by the DOE Joint Genome Institute, but there is no associated genome publication to date.

Sample position queriesA genome position can be specified by chromosomal coordinate range, COGID, or keywords from the GenBank or TIGR description of a gene. The available chromosome/plasmid names are:
| Browser Chrom/Plasmid Name | Length (bp) | GC Content (%) | Gene Count | NCBI RefSeq Accession |
|---|
| chr | 1297538 | 56.52 | 1492 | NC_009776 |
The following list shows examples of valid position queries for thisgenome: | Request: | Genome Browser Response: |
|---|
| chr | Displays the entire sequence "chr" in the browser window | | chr:1-10000 | Displays first ten thousand bases of the sequence "chr" | | transporter | Lists all genes with "transporter" in the name or description | | Igni_0010 | Display genome at position of gene Igni_0010 |

CreditsThe Archaeal Genome Browsers at UCSC were developed by members of theLowe Lab (Kevin Schneider,Katherine Pollard, Andy Pohl, Todd Lowe) and Robert Baertsch, with significant support fromthe UCSC Human GenomeBrowser group.The Archaeal Browsers are run by a slightly modifiedversion of the UCSC Human GenomeBrowser system. All queries, bug reports, content corrections, suggested improvements,and new track data submissions should be sent to Todd Lowe (lowe@soe.ucsc.edu).If you use the browser in your published research, please cite ourpublication in the Nucleic Acids Research DatabaseIssue. Citations and positive feedback will help us obtain fundingto continue development of this community resource.
