The October 2005 Drosophila sechellia genome assembly, which was produced by the Broad Institute at MIT and Harvard, can be downloaded here. To review a list of the assembly's largest 1000 supercontigs ranked by size, click here.
A genome position can be specified by a supercontig coordinate range, the accession number of an mRNA or RefSeq entry, a gene name, or keywords from the GenBank description of an mRNA. The following list shows examples of valid position queries for the D. sechellia genome. Note that some position queries (e.g. "huntington") may return matches to the mRNA records of other species. In these cases, the mRNAs are mapped to their homologs in D. sechellia. See the User's Guide for more information.

The Broad Institute produced the 28 October, 2005 assembly using the Arachne assembler. The assembly contains 14,730 supercontigs ranging in size from 204 bases to 21,120,651 bases, with a mean size of 11308.7 and median of 1710.
Bulk downloads of the sequence and annotation data are available via the Genome Browser FTP server or the Downloads page. The droSec1 annotation tracks were generated by UCSC and collaborators worldwide. See the Credits page for a detailed list of the organizations and individuals who contributed to this release.
