Data is released pre-publication under the rules of the Fort Lauderdale agreement. (see conditions for use statement, here and in the README).
For the pea aphid genome in particular, the BCM-HGSC plans to publish an extensive analysis in collaboration with the pea aphid genome consortium. All interested researchers are welcome to join the consortium,
to do so please go to http://www.as.miami.edu/aphidworkshop/signup and take a look at the existing annotation groups, if you would like to join one of
those groups, please email the group leader. If you would like to create a new annotation group on a subject not already covered by an existing group, please email the aphid genome consortium at
aphidworkshop@bio.miami.edu. In this way we hope to prevent duplication of analyses within the aphid community, and allow by collaboration a fuller genome analyses than would otherwise be possible.
Some (but not all) specific analyses that we believe fall fairly under the Ft Lauderdale agreements that are being performed by the pea aphid genome consortium include genome gene content comparison to other
insects and sequenced organisms and genome comparison of primary and secondary symbionts and pea aphid host genomes, however a fuller list of the consortiums interests can be found at the signup site.
Please feel free to join the consortium to add to this analysis.
Updates on the status, analysis and publication of the genome are being made available on the aphidgenomics listserv, if interested please join
here. Information about conference phone calls discussing the project (phone numbers and times) is posted to the aphid genomics listserv.
An annotation and analysis meeting is also planned for Princeton in July 2008 - for details please go here.
Other useful websites include aphid base.
A gbrowse display of the aphid genome is at aphid base at INRA Rennes.
Conditions For Use - Statement also in the README file on the public FTP site.
This data is made available before scientific publication with the following understanding:
- The data may be freely downloaded, used in analyses, and repackaged in databases.
- Users are free to use the data in scientific papers analyzing particular genes and small regions if the providers of this data are properly acknowledged. Please cite the BCM-HGSC web site or publications
from BCM-HGSC referring to the genome sequence.
- For analysis of multiple genes and larger regions, BCM HGSC plans to publish the assembly and genomic annotation of the dataset, including large-scale identification of regions of evolutionary conservation
and request that groups either not publish such larger analyses, or join the aphid genome consortium to work with us in this endeavor.
- This is in accordance with, and with the understandings in the Fort Lauderdale meeting discussing Community Resource Projects (see
http://www.genome.gov/Pages/Research/WellcomeReport0303.pdf) and the resulting
NHGRI policy statement.
- Any redistribution of the data should carry this notice.
Genome Assembly
We have released a preliminary assembly. Acyr_1.0
is available for download. The assembly is described in detail in the README
in that directory. This assembly is not optimal in terms of quality metrics
(specifics of comparisons to an EST dataset and a small number of finished
BACs are described in the README file) and is released as an interim dataset
due to demand from the community.
Finished BAC sequences
A small number of BAC clones have been sequenced, finished and submitted to Genbank.
These can be found here.
Blast Searches
HGSC
- Linearized chromosome and unplaced scaffold sequences
- Assembled contigs
- All unassembled reads including bin0 (reads with too few overlaps) and repeat reads
Traces are available from the
NCBI Trace Archive,
which can be searched using NCBI MegaBLAST with a same species or cross species query.
