It was brought to our attention that our CGD Suggestions and Questions form, the one with the reCAPTCHA box, was not working properly. There may have been messages that were inadvertently lost. If you recently tried to contact CGD and never received a response, it is most likely because we have not seen your message. We sincerely apologize for this. The problem is now fixed and we also implemented measures to alert us to this kind of issues in the future.

Candida glabrata Multi Locus Sequence Typing (MLST) database at PubMLST.org is accepting submissions again.As of August 2018, the C. glabrata MLST database hosted at pubmlst.org has re-opened its submission pipeline.They welcome submissions of new alleles and sequence types as well as isolate data from ongoing or published studies.Also the submission of genome data is possible to place them into the phylogenetic context of the current MLST scheme.

Please visit pubmlst.org/cglabrata for more information.

The sequence and annotation of C. lusitaniae strain CBS 6936, described in Durrens et al. (2017), has been made available at CGD. We provide downloads for sequences, chromosomal features, gff files and protein domain predictions. In addition, C. lusitaniae CBS 6936 is included among the datasets searchable by our multi-species BLAST tool. The sequence and annotation were obtained by CGD from NCBI.

CGD has added tracks in JBrowse showing the evolutionary conservation of genomic features for C. albicans SC5314, C. glabrata CBS138, C. dubliniensis CD36, and C. parapsilosis CDC317. Conservation is shown in four optional quantitative tracks, representing increasing levels of evolutionary diversity. In general, the top level (derived from an alignment of 3 closely related species) will show the highest levels of conservation, and include intergenic regions, while the lowest level (derived from an alignment of 12 distantly-related budding yeasts) will show the least conservation, and include only the most highly-conserved genes and features. Conservation scores were produced with the phyloP program (Siepel et al, 2005), based on whole-genome alignments produced by the program TBA (Blanchette et al, 2004).

Conservation scores and their underlying alignments and phylogenetic models are available for download in the CGD downloads directory. Please see our JBrowse Help Page for more information about JBrowse at CGD.

CGD has implemented JBrowse, the fast, intuitive, and customizable genome browser developed by the Generic Model Organism Database project (GMOD). JBrowse allows users to quickly view large-scale sequence data in a genomic context, at multiple zoom-levels of resolution, from base pairs in individual sequence reads to read-density summaries across large genomic regions. Initially, we have loaded the following datasets: Gene expression in C. albicans in a variety of experimental conditions from Bruno et al, 2010 Gene expression in C. glabrata in a variety of experimental conditions from Linde, Duggan et al, 2015 High-throughput genomic sequence of C. albicans SC5314 from Muzzey et al, 2013, that was the basis of Assembly 22 We will be adding additional high-throughput datasets in the coming months.

JBrowse can be launched from any CGD feature's Locus Summary Page by clicking on the JBrowse logo about halfway down the page:

The JBrowse window will be centered upon that feature.

Alternately, mouse-over "JBrowse" on the top menu bar of any CGD page, then select and click your organism of interest in the drop-down menu. The browser window will be centered on an arbitrary location of the genome.

Please see our JBrowse Help Page for more details.

We have corrected the haplotype assignments on chromosome 3 of C. albicans SC5314, based on comparisons of haplotype data (Legrand et al, 2008; Berman and Forche, 2016) with sequence data (Muzzey et al, 2013) for both the wild-type diploid strain and the strain RBY10-10, which is homozygous for chromosome 3A. This analysis supported the exchange of approximately 845 kbp between chromosome 3A and chromosome 3B of Assembly 22 at CGD, including the entire left arm of the chromosome, and a portion of the right arm extending from CEN3 to within the coding sequence of the gene C3_04040W (orf19.2804). This results in sequence and gene model boundary changes for most chromosome 3 features.(Posted June 22, 2016)

We now provide links on CGD Homology Pages and CGD Multi-Genome BLAST results pages to gene annotations from EnsemblFungi for the seven Candida-related strains for which we provide sequence and gene model downloads, but do not actively curate: C. albicans WO-1, C. guilliermondii ATCC 6260, C. lusitaniae ATCC 42720, C. orthopsilosis Co 90-125, C. tropicalis MYA-3404, D. hansenii CBS767 and L. elongisporus NRLL YB-4239. These replace the links to annotations formerly provided by the Broad Institute Fungal Genome Initiative, which are no longer supported. (Posted June 6, 2016)

We have released a major sequence update for C. albicans SC5314 (Assembly 22, version s06-m01-r01). Based on reanalysis by CGD of all available sequence data, the update affects more than 300 features, correcting many ORF translation errors and resolving many sequence ambiguities. The specific sequence changes can be viewed on our Chromosome History pages.(Posted February 2, 2016)
