Culex pipiens gene set CpipJ1.2 available » |
| Posted by Karyn Megy on July 11th, 2008
An update to the Culex pipiens gene set, CpipJ1.2, is now available at VectorBase.
Changes from the CpipJ1.1 set involved rectifying some issues with start and stop codons for 87 predictions and the removal of approx. 1,500 predictions which are not thought to represent real gene predictions. These are mostly small 1-2 exon models with no orthologs to any other species. This process involved extensive manual appraisal of prediction in tandem with bioinformatic approaches looking at potential bacterial and transposon-related sequences.

Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus taxonomy change » |
| Posted by Karyn Megy on May 07th, 2008
The NCBI has decided to follow the near-unanimous consensus in the taxonomic literature and promoted the subspecies Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus to species level, as Culex quinquefasciatus. The NCBI taxid will remain the same (7176).
VectorBase will reflect this taxonomy change some time in the future, but for the moment the web pages and file names at VectorBase will continue to use "Culex pipiens". Gene, transcript and protein identifiers (CPIJxxxxxx), and the assembly identifier (CpipJ), will not be modified.
