We are pleased to announce the release of function assignments for all publicly available genome sequences using GeneQuiz, a system for automated genome sequence annotation. GeneQuiz has been developed at EMBL in the group of Chris Sander and has been supported and maintained at the European Bioinformatics Institute in the past few years. We have analyzed 31 genomes which contain approximately 73,500 genes. The total amount of data we are releasing amounts to over 70GBytes and should provide a very useful resource for molecular biologists and genomics/bioinformatics experts. http://www.ebi.ac.uk/research/cgg/services/ ( alias ): http://www.genomes.org/services/ follow GeneQuiz. Positive feedback (e.g. was it useful to you?) go to genomes@ebi.ac.uk Negative feedback (e.g. is a species missing?) go to genequiz@ebi.ac.uk Please note that many database links (especially from older runs) may not be valid anymore and some views (multiple alignments, 3-D models) may not be functional for all genomes. We are aware of these problems and we are working on them. More species are on the way. Feel free to circulate this message.
