A more recent version of genomicus is available here
History of the browser & the database
2009-11-20.
- Database (version 56.01)
- All CNE positions for new assembly (Human version hg19, Bos taurus v4, zebrafish zv8) are available.
- The current CNE set was generated with three levels of conservation:
- Set 1: human + mouse + dog + cow
- Set 2: human + mouse + dog + cow + chicken
- Set 3: human + mouse + dog + cow + chicken + zebrafish
2009-10-07.
2009-10-20.
- Database (version 56.01)
- CNEs are temporarely removed. All CNE positions for new assembly (Human version hg19, Bos taurus v4, zebrafish zv8) will be available very soon.
2009-10-07.
- Database (version 56.01)
- Update to Genomicus56.01 with the last Ensembl data (release 56)
- Additionnal species: Oikopleura dioica (Oikopleura) from Genoscope, Nematostella vectensis (Sea anemone) from JGI, Branchiostoma floridae (Amphioxus) from JGI
- Ancestors' genes names are infered from Ensembl protein trees' names (ENSGT000xxxx). FAMxxxx are still used when genes of the above additonal species are involved.
- Webcode
- Support of Internet Explorer via Google Chrome Frame
2009-07-21.
- Database (version 55.01)
- Update to Genomicus55.01 with the last Ensembl data (release 55)
- Additionnal species: Oikopleura dioica (Oikopleura) from Genoscope, Nematostella vectensis (Sea anemone) from JGI, Branchiostoma floridae (Amphioxus) from JGI
- Webcode
- Successive versions of Genomicus are now archived and available online. The new URL scheme is www.dyogen.ens.fr/genomicus for the most recent database and www.dyogen.ens.fr/genomicus-XX.XX for specific versions (permanent links)
2009-06-14.
- Database (version 54.01)
- Update to Genomicus54.01 with the last Ensembl data (release 54)
- additionnal species: Oikopleura dioica (Oikopleura) from Genoscope, Nematostella vectensis (Nematostella) from jGI, Branchiostoma floridae (Amphioxus) from JGI
2009-04-03.
- Webcode
- In «AlignView», some situations with non-conserved gene neighbouring were represented with thicks lines instead of white space
- Various optimisations that should improve server response
2009-03-20.
- Webcode
- In «AlignView», gaps (thin/thicks lines) can now be queried and viewed in other browsers
- In «Phyloview», modern species can now be hidden and low-coverage genomes can be automatically collapsed
- Left & right arrows should be eaasier to click
- In both views, zoom can be as wide as 45 genes displayed
- Links to extern genome browser show the upstream and the downstream regions
2009-03-17.
- Webcode
- The colour/symbol code is now consistent with Ensembl & TreeFam
- The link to Ensembl GeneView is now working
- Our mail adress has changed and now works
2009-03-12.
- Webcode
- A «alignment view» is now available, and the previous mode of display is now «Phyloview». A button allows to switch between both views without starting a new search
- A two-state button 'Reference order'/'Adaptative order' changes the order of modern species to highlight the genome evolution from the root species to the current reference species
- Database (version 53.01)
- Synteny blocks have been updated with the last Ensembl data (release 53). Thanks to the addition of new key amniote genomes such as zebra finch or lizard, synteny blocks are much longer at Amniota & Mammalia nodes
2008-11-01.
- Webcode
- The menu to select extant and ancestral species has been tidyed up
- A history page has been added
- Some links to customize the tree view have been added
- The search engine now displays a message when the query gene has no orthologues
- Database (version 50.02)
- A bug in the display of amphioxus genes has been corrected: most genes were previously shown below an artefactual duplication node, which have now been removed. This does not affect the number of amphioxus genes displayed nor their phylogenic relationship with other species
- Now only duplication nodes with a confidence index (as provided by Ensembl) of 0.3 or more are taken into account. Duplication nodes below this value are propagated to terminal branches and thus turned into species specific duplications. The consequence is the removal of several thousand ancestral genes per ancestral species which were likely artefactual. Syntenic blocks are now longer and more reliable
2008-10-01.
- Initial release of the browser
- Database version 50.01
Version scheme.
- The web-code is referred with the date of its release
- The database version is composed of two numbers:
- The version of the Ensembl database used to define the gene annotations and the protein trees
- The version of the reconstructions (synteny, ancestral gene order & conserved non-coding elements)
