WormBase Genomes
WormBase Genomes
This is a record of the current and proposed set of genomes in WormBase.
Tiers
Tier I - All efforts are made to curate the gene structuers and any other genetic or metabolic information. Only C. elegans is in this group.
Tier II - Efforts are made, where practical, to manually curate the gene structure and possibly some other genomic information.
Tier III - We will set up the genome on WormBase with any gene structures that the authors of this genome have predicted. No further curation efforts are made by the WormBase consortium.
Tier IV - Proposed tier for organisms with only transcriptome information and no coherent genome. There are no examples of this at present.
Genome
The Genome column in the table indicates whether the genome has been added to WormBase.
Gene
The Genes column in the table indicates whether gene structures have been predicted.
The genome status
Species | NCBI TaxonID | Tier | Genome | Genes | Origin | Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Caenorhabditis briggsae | 6228 | II | Yes | Yes | WashU | New assembly from Erich Haag Sept 2010 |
Caenorhabditis remanei | 31234 | II | Yes | Yes | WashU | |
Caenorhabditis brenneri (Species 4) |
135651 | II | Yes | Yes | WashU | A lot of heterozygosity. |
Caenorhabditis elegans strain N2 | 6239 | I | Yes | Yes | WashU/Hinxton | |
Caenorhabditis elegans strain DR1035 | 6239 | III | Mark Blaxter | status unclear | ||
Caenorhabditis japonica | 281617 | II | Yes | Yes | WashU | |
Caenorhabditis species 3 strain PS1010 | 9668 | II | Yes | Yes | CalTech | |
Heterorhabditis bacteriophora | 37862 | III | WashU | |||
Pristionchus pacificus | 54126 | II | Yes | Yes | WashU | [21 June 2010] Christophe Dietrich says "he will switch to the new assembly which is not in Genbank but part of PubMed 20237107. Move the old gene predictions and corrections to new assembly. There is 454 data as well. New assemblies will be made as he has time." |
Haemonchus contortus | 6289 | III | Yes | Yes | Sanger | Added to WormBase in release WS209. |
Strongyloides ratti | 34506 | III | Sanger | Assembly due out in mid 2011. Have fosmid & BAC libraries. Have ~5000 contigs and ~99% of genome done. Have about 10,000 genes which is the expected number as it is half the size of C. elegans. | ||
Meloidogyne hapla | 6305 | III | Yes | Yes | NCSU hapla.org | Added to WormBase in release WS204. |
Meloidogyne incognita | 6306 | III | Yes | Yes | WashU | Added to WormBase in release WS205. |
II | Yes | Yes | WashU | |||

Phylogeny
Given my understanding of the current phylogenetic literature, the correct guide tree would be:
((((((((C._briggsae,C._remanei),C._brenneri),C._elegans),C._japonica),H._contortus),P._pacificus),(M._hapla,M._incognita)),,B._malayi)
