Chlamydia trachomatis
Gene Image Map
The Chlamydia trachomatis serovar D circular genome of 1.045 Mb was sequenced
in 1998 by teams at Stanford and UC-Berkeley working under the aegis of the STD
Branch, NIAID/NIH. Several sequences have been available for the 7.5 Kb plasmid,
however it is the plasmid studied in conjunction with this genomic work that is
primarily featured herein. The key publication describing this newly sequenced
genome is "Genome Sequence of an Obligate Intracellular Pathogen of Humans:
Chlamydia trachomatis" by R.S. Stephens, S. Kalman, C.J. Lammel and colleagues,
Science 282:754-759, 1998. Approximately 800 additional references pertaining to Chlamydial species
can be extracted from the Molecular Subset of MEDLINE (C.trachomatis References). A
comparison of the C. trachomatis and C. pneumoniae genomes is
presented in the bacterial analysis section (Chlamydia proteome comparisions).
The core information in this relational database is the table of annotated
records for each gene. CT001 through CT875 and pCT01 through pCT08 identify the
genomic and plasmid genes in C.trachomatis.
To these records analyses and links are appended, and
from these, tables and graphics are dynamically derived. For a general
perspective of the genome, go to the
Gene Image Map and browse
blocks of
coordinates. Caution: The entire 1,042,519 base pair genome can be viewed at one
time, however this large file can cause some machines to freeze. For a text
discussion of the proteome and how it was annotated, go to the C.trachomatis
Properties file. Finally, browsing is facilitated by the
Functional Classes,
EC Table, and
Biochemical Pathways
summaries. For a precise inquiry
on the other hand, start with the Search capabilities and their associated tables.
