Features
of the sequenced genome of the nematode Caenorhabditis
elegans
The genome sequence
is just over 100 million base
pairs in length.
Some general features of the sequenced genome are outlined below:
Statistics of the
genome
Statistics of the
chromosomes
Genes predicted from the
genome sequence
Features of selected genes and
gene families
Patterns in the C.
elegans genome sequence
I have reconstructed a series of images based on those presented in the 1998 genome sequencing paper in Science
Graphic 1 The distribution of genes on the
chromosomes
Graphic 2 The distribution of similarities to
ESTs on the chromosomes
Graphic 3 The distribution of similarities to
yeast genes on the chromosomes
Graphic 4 The distribution of
repeat sequences on the chromosomes
