Assembly

G. theta AF041468 strain CCMP2712, 87Mbp genome is organised on 3 chromosomes and has one of the smallest nuclei sequenced to date - 0.55 million base pairs. G. theta genomes are gene rich with around 21,000 predicted protein genes. he assembly and annotation were imported from European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) accession GCA_000315625.

Annotation

The protein coding gene annotation of the Guillardia theta genome was sequenced by DOE Joint genome Institute.

Non-coding RNA genes have been annotated using tRNAScan-SE (Lowe, T.M. and Eddy, S.R. 1997), RFAM (Griffiths-Jones et al 2005), and RNAmmer (Lagesen K.,et al 2007); additional analysis tools have also been applied.
