WormBase Genomes

This is a record of the current and proposed set of genomes in WormBase.

I think that this page is a correct statement of our intentions.

We may, of course, alter our plans for which species to include as circumstances dictate and so the list of organisms which should be included should be treated as somewhat tentative.


Tiers

The different genomes in WormBase are classified in various tiers which depend on the amount of curation effort we are able to put into maintaining them.

Tier I - All efforts are made to curate the gene structures 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. WormBase 'owns' the assembly in the ENA and GenBank so that new gene annotations can be submitted to the ENA/GenBank by WormBase.

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 in WormBase at present.

Tier V - Proposed tier for organisms with only genome information and no coherent transcriptome. There are no examples of this in WormBase 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 added to WormBase.

The genome status

Species NCBI TaxonID Tier Genome Genes Origin Comments
Caenorhabditis briggsae 6238 II Yes Yes WashU [Sept 2010] New assembly from Erich Haag being worked on. [Feb 2011] updated in WS224
Caenorhabditis remanei 31234 II Yes Yes WashU
Caenorhabditis brenneri

Steinernema carpocapsae 34508 Laboratorio Nacional de Genómica para la Biodiversidad / CalTech [May 2011] Being assembled.

Phylogeny

Given my understanding of the current phylogenetic literature (and based on personal communications with Karin Kiontke), the correct guide tree would be:

((((((((((((C.briggsae,C.sp9),C.sp5),C.remanei),(C.sp11,C.brenneri)),C.elegans),(C.sp7,C.japonica)),C.angaria),(H.contortus,H.bacteriophora)),P.pacificus),((M.incognita,M.hapla), (S.ratti,B.xylophilus))),(A.suum,B.malayi)),T.spiralis);
