We present here the annotation of complete genome rice Oryza sativa L. ssp. japonica cultivar Nipponbare. All functional annotations for proteins and non-protein-coding RNA (npRNA) candidates were manually curated. Functions identified or inferred in 19,969 (70%) proteins, 131 possible npRNAs (including 58 antisense transcripts) found. Almost 5000 annotated protein-coding genes found to be disrupted insertional mutant lines, which will accelerate future experimental validation annotations....
We report complete genome sequence of a mesophilic hydrogenotrophic methanogen Methanocella paludicola, the first cultured representative order Methanocellales once recognized as an uncultured key archaeal group for methane emission in rice fields. The M. paludicola consists single circular chromosome 2,957,635 bp containing 3004 protein-coding sequences (CDS). Genes most functions known methanogenic archaea were identified, e.g. full complement hydrogenases and methanogenesis enzymes....
Orthologs are genes in different species that evolved from a common ancestral gene by speciation. Currently, with the rapid growth of transcriptome data various species, more reliable orthology information is prerequisite for further studies. However, detection orthologs could be erroneous if pairwise distance-based methods, such as reciprocal BLAST searches, utilized. Thus, sub-database H-InvDB, an integrated database annotated human ( http://h-invitational.jp/ ), we constructed fully...
