Info • Chlamydomonas reinhardtii CC-4532 v6.1

Status

The genome sequence and gene models of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii CC-4532 v6.1 were downloaded from Phytozome, the Joint Genome Institute (JGI) Plant genomics portal. In order to allow comparative analyses with other algal genomes sequenced by the JGI, a copy of this genome is incorporated into PhycoCosm.

We applied filters to remove if present: 1) transposable elements, 2) pseudogenes, 3) alternative transcripts and overlapping models, and 4) unsupported short models. This resulted in removal of 16,484 models from C. reinhardtii CC-4532 v6.1 (mainly TE-related or alternative isoforms) and generation of the FilteredModels1 gene track. All original Phytozome models are available in the PhytozomeModels track. JGI tools were used to automatically annotate predicted proteins.
