Genome Inventory (as of Dec 21, 2024)

This table reports the number and types of features annotated in CGD, per chromosome (excluding unmapped features). To get a list of all features of a certain type (e.g., Verified ORF, tRNA, etc.), select that feature type. To access more information on the individual chromosome (e.g., sequence, a listing of all features on that chromosome, etc.), select each chromosome name. (Feature types that are not yet annotated in CGD are not listed in the table below.)

Summary of Chromosome Sequence and Annotation updates

As new data become available, CGD curators update the systematic sequence and its annotation. This table summarizes the sequence and/or annotation updates made for each chromosome.

Select the chromosome number to retrieve the corresponding Chromosome History page, which provides details on all the updates for that chromosome. Current and past versions of the sequence and annotation are also available on the CGD Download Data page. Detailed information about the sequence data in CGD, including the sources from which sequence-based information are dervived, and a history of the reference strain genome assemblies, is found on the Sequence Documentation page.

If you are aware of additional sequence or annotation changes that should be made to the reference sequence, please send a message to CGD curators. At this time, CGD does not record sequence variation between SC5314 and other strains of C. albicans SC5314.

Summary of Gene Ontology (GO) annotations (as of Dec 21, 2024)

This table displays the current total number of C. albicans SC5314 gene products that have been annotated to one or more terms in each GO aspect (Process, Function, Component). These counts include GO annotations made for ORFs classified as either "Verified" or "Uncharacterized", transposable element genes, and all RNA gene products. Note that these counts do not include GO annotations made for ORFs classified as "Dubious", or for features of type "Pseudogene" or "Not physically mapped"

All Ontologies	12883

Distribution of Gene Products by Process, Function, and Component (as of Dec 21, 2024)

These graphical views representing the GO annotation state of the entire genome are provided using a GO Slim (a high-level subset of Gene Ontology terms that allows grouping of genes into broad categories such as "DNA replication", "protein kinase activity", or "nucleus") tailored to Candida biology. GO Slim terms representing broad categories from a single aspect are listed for each graph, along with the percentage of C. albicans SC5314 gene products annotated to a specific term that maps up the ontology to the GO Slim term. Note that some gene products may be represented more than once, if they are annotated to one or more GO terms that map to more than one GO Slim term.

More information on GO and GO Slim can be found at SGD's GO help page or in the Gene Ontology documentation. To obtain the GO data summarized in these graphs, you may use the GO Slim Mapper, or view and download the file "C_albicans_SC5314_go_distribution.tab" in the GO Slim downloads directory. An alternative processing of the same data is available in the file "GOSlim_gene_association.cgd.gz", also in the GO Slim downloads directory.
