Subject: [Ixodes] Ixodes Genome Browser & Community Annotation
Message-ID: <7B822100FD93C646B5D905DC842F6594C4459E@EXCH05.purdue.lcl>

VectorBase is pleased to announce the availability of a Genome Browser
to view the preliminary 0.5 annotation of the Ixodes scapularis genome.
VectorBase encourages community scientists to contribute to the Ixodes
annotation effort through submission of their own gene models.
Community-generated gene models will be displayed as a separate manual
annotation track in the Ixodes Genome Browser. Community annotations
will also be considered for incorporation into the final Ixodes gene
set, which is targeted for release at Vectorbase and GenBank in a few
months. Please note that the deadline for receipt of community
annotations has been extended to July 25, 2008. Gene models received
after this date may also be considered for incorporation on an ad hoc
basis. Community scientists wishing to submit manual annotations may do
so through the Vectorbase Community Annotation Pipeline. An account is
required to submit gene models. To sign-up for an account, click the
"User" tab in the top-right corner of the VectorBase homepage at
http://www.vectorbase.org/index.php. To submit a gene model, follow the
procedures described at
http://www.vectorbase.org/Help/Community_Annotation:Submission_User_Guid
e.  For further information regarding submission of community
annotations, please contact the Ixodes VectorBase Community
Representative, Jason Meyer, at meyerjm@purdue.edu
