News & Announcements March 2013

General News
New Postdoc position available!

The Integrated Genomics group at The Genome Institute is hiring. The successful candidate will be part of an established and successful research group focused on integrating 'omics' approaches aimed at understanding organisms at a molecular level. Please read the job description for more details.


NemaGene Gene Tables added to Nematode.net

This new feature of Nematode.net hosts annotations made to final genesets. Tables typically provide clustering information, KO, IPR and GO assignments and more. Our first table loaded is for Brugia malayi (more coming soon). Check out the NemaGene Gene Tables for yourself.


CDS for 10 final genesets now available in NemaBLAST

The NemaBLAST vs. EST contigs & genes blast service now hosts CDS for 10 final genesets with the most recent addition of 18,074 B.xylophilus genes. These CDS are now available for integration into your choice of blast dbs to search. NemaBLAST vs. EST contigs & genes. Fasta for these CDS is also available in our Data Download section.


New Data & Tools

Ascaris suum microarray data mirror now available! - Ascaris suum microarray data released by us in NCBI GEO as GSE36690 is now mirrored locally!



NemaGene Gene Tables - An online resource hosting available annotation for final genesets.


Next-gen transcript assembly data available - A resource allowing the user to download recent, 454-based, transcript assembly data. Nucleotide & translated protein fasta files for isotig consensus, isogroup membership and isotig membership files are all available for download, along with statistics about the assembly itself.
