Species InformationThe Sulfolobus solfataricus P2 genome is 2.99 Million bp long and contains approximately 3033 predicted genes. S. solfataricus is a thermophilic acidophile growing optimally at a pH 2-4 at 80C.
Taxonomy: Archaea; Crenarchaeota; Thermoprotei; Sulfolobales; Sulfolobaceae; Sulfolobus.
Sequencing: The sequence was released June 2001 by the European/Canadian Consortium, and was described in Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 98:7835-40 (2001) She Q, Singh RK, Confalonieri F, Zivanovic Y, Allard G, et al.."The complete genome of the crenarchaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus P2." Abstract: The genome of the crenarchaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus P2 contains 2,992,245 bp on a single chromosome and encodes 2,977 proteins and many RNAs. One-third of the encoded proteins have no detectable homologs in other sequenced genomes. Moreover, 40% appear to be archaeal-specific, and only 12% and 2.3% are shared exclusively with bacteria and eukarya, respectively. The genome shows a high level of plasticity with 200 diverse insertion sequence elements, many putative nonautonomous...

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.
