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).
