Workshop on Bacterial Genomics

This page allows you to download the description, sequence (both nucleotide and amino acid) and
more importantly, the orthologues of your gene of interest.
10
Click on the ‘Orthologues’ link
and press submit query.
11
The browser window return the annotated orthologues in L. major and T. cruzi.
12
Have a look at the results.
• Is L. major predicted to contain all components of the Arp2/3 complex?
• How many copies of each of the components is T. cruzi genome predicted to encode?
• Why might you find them in duplicates (hint: have a look at the T. cruzi GeneDB homepage)?
• How would you go about identifying homologues in the other Leishmania and Trypanosoma species?
• Send a feedback e-mail to the curators in cases where you come across mis-annotation.
