The Drosophila yakuba Release 1.0 (Apr. 2004) draft genome sequence was produced by the Genome Sequencing Center at the Washington University (WUSTL) School of Medicine in St. Louis.
A genome position can be specified by the accession number of an mRNA or EST, a chromosomal range, or keywords from the GenBank description of an mRNA. The following list provides examples of valid position queries for the Drosophila 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 Drosophila. See the User's Guide for more information.

| chr2L | Displays all of chromosome 2L (see the Assembly Details section for a list of chromosomes present in this assembly) | |
| chrYh_random:1-75000 | Displays first 75,000 bases of chromosome Yh_random (h = heterochromatin random reads) | |
| AF532011 | Displays region aligning with D. yakuba mRNA with GenBank accession number AF532011 | |
| BQ705701 | Displays region aligning with D. yakuba EST with GenBank accession BQ705701 | |
| p53 | Lists mRNAs related to the p53 tumor suppressor | |
| zinc finger | Lists zinc finger mRNAs | |
| huntington | Lists mRNAs associated with Huntington's disease | |
| Tautz,D. | Lists mRNAs deposited by co-author D. Tautz | |
| Use this last format for author queries. Although GenBank requires the search format Tautz D, internally it uses the format Tautz,D.. | ||
The Release 1.0 D. yakuba whole genome shotgun assembly consists of 11,926 supercontigs larger than 1 kb, with a total size of approximately 167.67 Mb and an N50 length of about 1.02 Mb. The total number of contigs greater than 1 kb is 20,969, with a total size of approximately 167.18 Mb and an N50 length of 41,852.
The sequence is distributed among the following chromosomes: 2L, 2R, 2h (random only), 3L, 3R, 3h (random only), 4, X, Xh (random only), Yh (random only), M (mitochondria) and U. Sequence that could not be reliably ordered within a chromosome N has been placed on chrN_random. Heterochromatin that has been localized to a specific chromosome can be found in chrNh_random. For more information about the D. yakuba assembly and statistics, see the WUSTL Genome Sequencing Center Drosophila yakuba web page.
Downloads of the droYak1 data and annotations may be obtained from the UCSC Genome Browser FTP server or Downloads page. The droYak1 annotation tracks were generated by UCSC and collaborators worldwide. Thanks to the Genome Sequencing Center, WUSTL School of Medicine for providing the sequence of this genome.
