The compara orthology build has been updated to include the new Opossum genome, and chimp dnafrag names have been changed to take account of the re-numbering of the Chimp chromosomes (see Chimp news for more information).

All variation databases now include the new consequence_type 'REGULATORY_REGION'.
Features which have accompanying Gene locations, e.g. some AffyProbes, now display a table of gene names and descriptions at the top of the view page. See an example....
The Chimp chromosome numbers have been changed to the new primate standard proposed by E.H.

This release of X.tropicalis data is assembled into scaffolds, so there are no chromosomes available to browse. Use the BLAST and SSAHA buttons in the menu bar, left, to locate data.
A few example data points:
The Xenopus tropicalis genome assembly version 3.0 [October 2004] is the third of a series of preliminary assembly releases by the JGI that are planned as part of the ongoing X. tropicalis genome project. The current assembly includes approximately 7x in small insert end-sequence coverage. This Ensembl website presents the sequence data provided by the JGI.
The assembly was constructed with the JGI assembler, Jazz, using paired end sequencing reads. After trimming for vector and quality, 19.1 Million reads assembled into 27,064 scaffolds totaling 1.63 Gbp. Roughly half of the genome is contained in 392 scaffolds, all at least 1.2 Mb in length.
