About the Methanococcus jannaschii August 1996 (methJann1) assembly (sequences)

Species Information

The Methanococcus jannaschii genome is 1.74 Million bp long and contains approximately 1830 predicted genes. The organism's genus was formerly Methanococcus, but it has been reclassified as Methanocaldococcus. M. jannaschii is a methanogen which grows optimally at 85C, and has the distinction of being the first archaeon and first hyperthermophile sequenced.

Taxonomy: Archaea; Euryarchaeota; Methanococci; Methanococcales; Methanocaldococcaceae; Methanocaldococcus.

The most recent genome sequence draft was released August 1996 but there is no associated genome publication to date.

Sample position queries

A genome position can be specified by chromosomal coordinate range, COGID, or keywords from the GenBank or TIGR description of a gene. The available chromosome/plasmid names are:

Browser Chrom/Plasmid Name Length (bp) GC Content (%) Gene Count NCBI RefSeq Accession

chr 1664970 31.43 1772 NC_000909

lg_extrachr 58407 28.19 46 NC_001732

sm_extrachr 16550 28.89 12 NC_001733

The following list shows examples of valid position queries for thisgenome:

The Archaeal Genome Browsers at UCSC were developed by members of theLowe Lab (Kevin Schneider,Katherine Pollard, Andy Pohl, Todd Lowe) and Robert Baertsch, with significant support fromthe UCSC Human GenomeBrowser group.The Archaeal Browsers are run by a slightly modifiedversion of the UCSC Human GenomeBrowser system. All queries, bug reports, content corrections, suggested improvements,and new track data submissions should be sent to Todd Lowe (lowe@soe.ucsc.edu).
