The May 2011 Gorilla gorilla gorilla draft assembly is produced by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute (NCBI project 31265, GCA_000151905.1). For more information about this assembly, see gorGor3.1 in the NCBI Assembly database.
A genome position can be specified by the accession number of a sequenced genomic region, an mRNA or EST, a chromosomal coordinate range, or keywords from the GenBank description of an mRNA. The following list shows examples of valid position queries for the Gorilla genome. See the User's Guide for more information.
| Request: | Genome Browser Response: | |
|---|---|---|
| chrM | Displays all of chromosome M | |
| chr3:1-1000000 | Displays first million bases of chr 3 | |
| chr3:1000000+2000 | Displays a region of chr 3 that spans 2000 bases, starting with position 1000000 | |
| NM_201653 | This search finds the non-Gorilla RefSeq accessioned item with name: NM_201653 | |
| NM_201653; NM_029604 | Display the region between these two non-Gorilla RefSeq accessioned items | |

Assembly involved several phases, starting with a de novo assembly of the
initial data using the ABySS and Phusion assemblers. Contigs from this
'seed' assembly were then grown by assembling and attaching Solexa read
pairs from the initial data. To improve long-range structure, supercontig
construction was guided by placing (where possible) seed contigs in
accordance with their homologous locations on the human genome, breaking
supercontigs wherever a potential break between human and gorilla was
inferred in an alignment of all the Solexa data to human.
This draft assembly contains all the assembled supercontigs plus a mitochondrial sequence (chrM - NC_011120).
Two types of sequencing were used in this assembly:
Bulk downloads of the sequence and annotation data are available via the Genome Browser FTP server or the Downloads page. These data have specific conditions for use. The Gorilla browser annotation tracks were generated by UCSC and collaborators worldwide.
