Species Information

The Uncultured methanogenic archaeon RC-I genome is 3.18 Million bp long and contains approximately 3166 predicted genes.

Taxonomy: Archaea; Euryarchaeota; environmental samples.

Sequencing: The sequence was released 07/21/2006 by the Max Planck Institute, and was described in Science 313:370-2 (2006) Erkel C, Kube M, Reinhardt R, Liesack W,."Genome of Rice Cluster I archaea--the key methane producers in the rice rhizosphere."

Abstract: Rice fields are a global source of the greenhouse gas methane, which is produced by methanogenic archaea, and by methanogens of Rice Cluster I (RC-I) in particular. RC-I methanogens are not yet available in pure culture, and the mechanistic reasons for their prevalence in rice fields are unknown. We reconstructed a complete RC-I genome (3.18 megabases) using a metagenomic approach. Sequence analysis demonstrated an aerotolerant, H2/CO2-dependent lifestyle and enzymatic capacities for...

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).
