http://www.hgsc.bcm.tmc.edu/content/honey-bee-genome-project

The HGSC has sequenced the honey bee, Apis mellifera. The version 4.0 assembly was released in March 2006 and published in October 2006. The genome sequence is being upgraded with additional sequence coverage. The honey bee is important in the agricultural community as a producer of honey and as a facilitator of pollination. It is a model organism for studying the following human health issues: immunity, allergic reaction, antibiotic resistance, development, mental health, longevity and diseases of the X chromosome. In addition, biologists are interested in the honey bee's social organization and behavioral traits. This project was proposed to the HGSC by a group of dedicated insect biologists, headed by Gene Robinson. Following a workshop at the HGSC and a honey bee white paper, the HGSC began the project in 2002. A 6-fold coverage WGS, BAC sequence from pooled arrays, and an initial genome assembly (Amel_v1.0) were released beginning in 2003. This has been a challenging project with difficulty in recovering AT-rich regions. The WGS data had lower coverage in AT-rich regions and BAC data from clones showed evidence of internal deletions. Additional reads from AT enriched DNA addressed these underrepresented regions. The current assembly Amel_4.0 was produced with Atlas and includes 2.7 million reads (1.8 Gb) or 7.5x coverage of the (clonable) genome. About 97% of STSs, 98% of ESTs, and 96% of cDNAs are represented in the 231 Mb assembly. About 2,500 reads were also produced from a strain of Africanized honey bee and SNPs were extracted. These were released in dbSNP and the NCBI Trace Archive. Analysis of the genome by a consortium of 20 labs has been completed. This produced a gene list derived from five different methods melded through the GLEAN software. Publications include a main paper in Nature and up to forty companion papers in Genome Research and Insect Molecular Biology. Sponsors: Sequencing of the honey bee is jointly funded by National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) and the Department of Agriculture (USDA). Multiple drones from the same queen (strain DH4) were obtained from Danny Weaver of B. Weaver Apiaries. All libraries were made from DNA isolated from these drones. The honey bee BAC library (CHORI-224) was prepared by Pieter de Jong and Katzutoyo Osoegawa at the Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute.

http://www.hgsc.bcm.tmc.edu/content/red-flour-beetle-genome-project

This portal provides information about the Tribolium castabeum Genome Project. The Tribolium castaneum genome sequence and its analysis has been published in Nature, two companion journal issues (IBMB and DGE) and numerous other publications listed below. The red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum, a common pest that is also a genetic model for the Coleoptera. The genome has been sequenced to 7-fold coverage using a whole genome shotgun approach and assembled using the HGSC's assembly engine, Atlas, with methods employed for the Drosophila pseudoobscura genome assembly. Approximately 90% of the genome sequence has been mapped to chromosomes in collaboration with Dick Beeman (USDA ARS) and Sue Brown (Kansas State University). Access to the Data :- Genome Assembly: The long term home of the Tribolium genome is Beetlebase. Tcas 3.0 is now available in GenBank and on our FTP site. Note there are no restrictions of any kind on the Tribolium data as it has been published. Version 2 of the assembly, Tcas_2.0 is available for download using the FTP Data link in the sidebar. The assembly is described in detail in the README in that directory. T.cas_1.0 was a preliminary genome assembly that did not include large insert paired end information and has been moved to a previous assemblies folder. A genboree browser of the Tcas2.0 sequence is available here: There are also links to the genboree browser from the blast results (at the bottom of each reported HSP) if you use the blast server on this page. The original linear scaffold file, Tcas2.0/linearScaffolds/Tcas20050914-genome, posted on the ftp site did not include singleton contigs from the assembly and thus did not fully reflect the tribolium genome sequence, missing ~4.4Mb of sequence in 1860 contigs and reptigs or approximately 2.5% of the assembled sequence. A corrected Tcas20051011-genome file containing these missing sequences is now available on the ftp site. The blast databases have also been updated to reflect this change. All other data is correct, and not affected by this change. :- BLAST Searches: The BLAST link is located in the sidebar. :* Linearized chromosome and unplaced scaffold sequences :* Assembled contigs :* Bin0 unassembled reads and Repeat reads Traces are available from the NCBI Trace Archive by using the link in the sidebar, or by using NCBI MegaBLAST with a same species or cross species query. Sponsors: Funding for this project has been provided by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI U54 HG003273), which is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service (USDA ARS Agreement No. 58-5430-3-338).

The Structural Genomics Project aims at determination of the 3D structure of all proteins. It also aims to reduce the cost and time required to determine three-dimensional protein structures. It supports selection, registration, and tracking of protein families and representative targets. This aim can be achieved in four steps : -Organize known protein sequences into families. -Select family representatives as targets. -Solve the 3D structure of targets by X-ray crystallography or NMR spectroscopy. -Build models for other proteins by homology to solved 3D structures. PSI has established a high-throughput structure determination pipeline focused on eukaryotic proteins. NMR spectroscopy is an integral part of this pipeline, both as a method for structure determinations and as a means for screening proteins for stable structure. Because computational approaches have estimated that many eukaryotic proteins are highly disordered, about 1 year into the project, CESG began to use an algorithm. The project has been organized into two separate phases. The first phase was dedicated to demonstrating the feasibility of high-throughput structure determination, solving unique protein structures, and preparing for a subsequent production phase. The second phase, PSI-2, has focused on implementing the high-throughput structure determination methods developed in PSI-1, as well as homology modeling and addressing bottlenecks like modeling membrane proteins. The first phase of the Protein Structure Initiative (PSI-1) saw the establishment of nine pilot centers focusing on structural genomics studies of a range of organisms, including Arabidopsis thaliana, Caenorhabditis elegans and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. During this five-year period over 1,100 protein structures were determined, over 700 of which were classified as unique due to their < 30% sequence similarity with other known protein structures. The primary goal of PSI-1 was to develop methods to streamline the structure determination process, resulted in an array of technical advances. Several methods developed during PSI-1 enhanced expression of recombinant proteins in systems like Escherichia coli, Pichia pastoris and insect cell lines. New streamlined approaches to cell cloning, expression and protein purification were also introduced, in which robotics and software platforms were integrated into the protein production pipeline to minimize required manpower, increase speed, and lower costs. The goal of the second phase of the Protein Structure Initiative (PSI-2) is to use methods introduced in PSI-1 to determine a large number of proteins and continue development in streamlining the structural genomics pipeline. Currently, the third phase of the PSI is being developed and will be called PSI: Biology. The consortia will propose work on substantial biological problems that can benefit from the determination of many protein structures Sponsors: PSI is funded by the U.S. National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS),
