AspGD Help: Aspergillus nidulans Genome Snapshot
Contents
This resource, which is updated daily, provides information on the
status of the A. nidulans genome. It includes
information on the genomic features and GO annotations. All the data
displayed on this page are available in one or more files (Chromosomal
Feature File, GO Annotations File) on the AspGD Download
Data page. The Advanced
Search tool can also be used to retrieve chromosomal features that
match specific criteria.
This pie chart shows the breakdown of the number of ORFs classified as
Verified or Uncharacterized in the A. nidulans genome. ORFs are classified
as "Verified" or
"Uncharacterized" by AspGD according to
the degree of certainty that each ORF actually encodes a protein (see
the AspGD Sequence
Documentation for details).
The Genome Inventory
table provides a count of each feature type
in the genome and in each chromosome. In addition, the table also
lists the size of the genome and of each chromosome. Clicking on any
of the feature types will provide a complete list of features of that type,
along with their coordinates and other details such as gene names and
descriptions. Only the feature types that are currently annotated in the A. nidulans genome are listed in this table.
Note that there may be small differences between the total number of
each type of feature as shown in the Genome Inventory table, and as
derived from the Advanced Search. The number shown in the Genome
Inventory table includes only genomic features that are mapped to
chromosomes, while results from the Advanced Search tool may include
features that are not mapped. Additionally, the Genome Snapshot view is updated once per day while the data in AspGD are updated multiple times per day.
This summary table provides the current total number of A. nidulans
gene products (proteins and RNAs) that have been annotated
to one or more terms in each GO aspect (Biological Process, Molecular
Function and Cellular Component). The GO Annotations File available at AspGD's Download Data page
provides all GO annotations for A. nidulans gene products.
This section provides three bar graphs that represent the GO
annotation status of the entire genome using the Aspergillus GO Slim (a
high-level subset of Gene Ontology terms that allows grouping of genes
into broad categories such as "DNA replication", "protein kinase
activity", or "nucleus", tailored to Aspergillus biology). GO Slim terms
representing broad categories from a single aspect are listed for each
graph, along with the percentage of A. nidulans gene products
annotated to specific terms that map up the ontology to the GO Slim
term.
More information on GO and GO Slim can be found at SGD's GO help page or in the Gene Ontology documentation. To obtain the GO data summarized in these graphs, please contact
AspGD curators.
The bar graphs are generated once a day.

left-hand sidebar of AspGD's home page and other index pages, in
the "About AspGD" section; and on the About AspGD page.
