The current draft of the Ferroplasma acidarmanus Fer1 genome is 1.87 Million bp long. F. acidarmanus is an acidophilic iron-oxidizing euryarchaeon that is native to metal-rich environments (including those rich in arsenic). It grows optimally at 42C and pH 1.2. The genome is still in draft form.

The most recent genome sequence draft was released June 2005 Draft by the US DOE Joint Genome Institute, but there is no associated genome publication to date.

Sample position queries

A genome position can be specified by chromosomal coordinate range, COG ID, or keywords from the GenBank or TIGR description of a gene. The available chromosome/plasmid names are:

The Archaeal Genome Browsers at UCSC were developed by members of the Lowe Lab (Kevin Schneider, Katherine Pollard, Andy Pohl, Todd Lowe) and Robert Baertsch, with significant support from the UCSC Human Genome Browser group. The Archaeal Browsers are run by a slightly modified version of the UCSC Human Genome Browser system. All queries, bug reports, content corrections, suggested improvements, and new track data submissions should be sent to Todd Lowe (lowe @soe.ucsc.edu).

If you use the browser in your published research, please cite our publication in the Nucleic Acids Research Database Issue. Citations and positive feedback will help us obtain funding to continue development of this community resource.
