WormBase Genomes

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

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.

Clade

The Major Clades of Blaxter et al 1998 ("Bclades"), as systematised by De Ley and Blaxter 2002-2004.

Gene-set

The origin of the gene-set. One of: Curated (curated by WormBase), Predicted (made by a gene-prediction pipeline), External (produced by another group), None (no gene-set available).

Genome

The Genome column in the table gives the assembly size and a link to the genome in WormBase, or the approximate size if it has not been assembled.

Gene

The Genes column in the table indicates whether gene structures have been added to WormBase.

Assembly

Which lab did the assembly. The sequence coverage. The Supercontig N50. And anything else that we know about it.

Phylogeny

Given my understanding of the current phylogenetic literature (and based on personal communications with Karin Kiontke,David Fitch and Mark Blaxter), 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);
