This site contains:

• The Genome Browser that allows to visualize each contig of the genome with alignments to D. discoideum proteins (75% D. discoideum proteins aligned to the D.purpureum genome)
• The new dictyBase universal dictyostelid BLAST server where you can use any sequence to search the D.purpureum and D. discoideum genomes
• The D.purpureum Downloads page containing mappings between different IDs and sequences in FASTA format
• A search function where you can search for gene IDs (e.g. DPU_G0068768), sequence IDs (e.g. DPU0071345), or JGI protein IDs (47329 )
• The genomic sequence has been assembled into 838 contigs containing 12410 predicted proteins
• 36096 EST sequences, 57% of which aligned to the genome

The D.purpureum genome was sequenced as a collaboration between the
Joint Genome Institute and Baylor College of Medicine. Please cite:
