The Jan. 2007 Caenorhabditis brenneri (PB2801) draft assembly was produced by the Washington University in St. Louis (WUSTL) School of Medicine Genome Sequencing Center. The UCSC caePb1 assembly corresponds to WUSTL version 4.0.
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 C. brenneri genome. Note that the search results may include organisms other than the current genome. See the User's Guide for more information.

This assembly is a 20X inbred (one gravid female per generation) derivative of LKC28, which is conspecific with CB5161. This species was renamed to C. brenneri in 2007. Other conspecific strains include SB129 and SB280. For more information, see Sudhaus W and Kiontke K. Comparison of the cryptic nematode species Caenorhabditis brenneri sp. n. and C. remanei (Nematoda: Rhabditidae) with the stem species pattern of the Caenorhabditis Elegans group. Zootaxa 25 Apr. 2007;1456:45-62.
This assembly has been sequenced to 9.5X WGS coverage. The 10,292 supercontigs are displayed in the UCSC Genome Browser as a single artificial chromosome chrUn with artificial gaps of 1,000 Ns inserted between supercontigs. The largest supercontig is 1,129,006 bp; 478 supercontigs larger than 93,185 bp (N50) contain over 50% of the sequence. For more information about the assembly, see the WUSTL C. brenneri project page.
Bulk downloads of the sequence and annotation data are available via the Genome Browser FTP server or Downloads page. These data have specific conditions for use.
The worm browser 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.
