  16. Genome Resources • NCBI: • Genomes Resources : Link • Genome Project • Genome: 6108 species • Genomes OnLine Database (GOLD): Link • JGI: Integrated Microbial Genomes: Link http://www.hsls.pitt.edu/guides/genetics

  17. NCBI Genome Resources http://www.hsls.pitt.edu/guides/genetics

  18. Practice Question: • Query:  Check the status of genome sequencing for an organism, such as rabbit. • Answer: • Pick an organism or metagenome project name. • Search the Genome Project database. To get the most precise results specify the organism field when searching with an organism name, for example: human[orgn]. • Click on the desired Genome Project if more than one result. • The Genome Project summary page will provide information of available projects and sequencing status. http://www.hsls.pitt.edu/guides/genetics

  19. NCBI Genome Project • A collection of complete and in-progress large-scale sequencing, assembly, annotation, and mapping projects for cellular organisms. The database is organized into organism-specific overviews that function as portals for browsing and retrieving projects pertaining to each organism. Rabbit CLICK http://www.hsls.pitt.edu/guides/genetics

  20. NCBI Genome Project : Rabbit Genome http://www.hsls.pitt.edu/guides/genetics

  21. NCBI Genome Project : Rabbit Genome http://www.hsls.pitt.edu/guides/genetics

  22. NCBI Entrez Genome: http://www.hsls.pitt.edu/guides/genetics

  23. Genomes Online Database (GOLD) • http://genomesonline.org/index2.htm • Global resource for comprehensive access to information regarding complete and ongoing genome projects, metagenomes, and metadata. “genome sequencing has come of age, and genomics will become central to microbiology's future. It may appear at the moment that the human genome is the main focus and primary goal of genome sequencing, but do not be deceived. The real justification in the long run, is microbial genomics” Carl Woese, 1998 http://www.hsls.pitt.edu/guides/genetics

  24. Genome Browsers http://www.hsls.pitt.edu/guides/genetics

  25. Genome Browsers: What are they? Genome Browsers enable researchers to visualize and browse entire genomes with annotated data including gene prediction and structure, proteins, expression, regulation, variation, comparative analysis, etc. http://www.hsls.pitt.edu/guides/genetics

  26. Genome Browsers Display: Vertical • The Big Three • NCBI MapViewer • UCSC Genome Browser • EBI Ensembl • Generic Genome Browser (Gbrowse) • JBrowse(Ajax based like Google Map) Display: Horizontal http://www.hsls.pitt.edu/guides/genetics
