  About the Nanoarchaeum equitans Oct. 2003 (nanEqu1) assembly (sequences)
 

Species Information

The Nanoarchaeum equitans Kin4-M genome is 0.49 Million bp long and contains approximately 582 predicted genes. N. equitans is a hyperthermophilic archaeon found as a parasite to Ignicoccus.

Taxonomy: Archaea; Nanoarchaeota; Nanoarchaeum.

The most recent genome sequence draft was released Oct. 2003 by the DIVERSA, but there is no associated genome publication to date.

Isolation: Nature 417:63-7 (2002) Huber H, Hohn MJ, Rachel R, Fuchs T, Wimmer VC, et al. "A new phylum of Archaea represented by a nanosized hyperthermophilic symbiont."

Abstract: According to small subunit ribosomal RNA (ss rRNA) sequence comparisons all known Archaea belong to the phyla Crenarchaeota, Euryarchaeota, and--indicated only by environmental DNA sequences--to the 'Korarchaeota'. Here we report the cultivation of a new nanosized hyperthermophilic archaeon from a submarine hot vent. This archaeon cannot be attached to one of these groups and therefore must represent an unknown phylum which we name 'Nanoarchaeota' and species, which we name...

Sample position queries

A 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:

The 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).
