The July 2005 Ciona savignyi draft assembly was obtained from the Arend Sidow lab at Stanford University.
A genome position can be specified by the accession number of a sequenced mRNA, a reftig coordinate range, a gene identifier, or keywords from the GenBank description of an mRNA. The following list shows examples of valid position queries for the C. savignyi genome. See the User's Guide for more information.

The Broad Institute Arachne2 assembly was used as a starting point by the Sidow Lab to generate a nonredundant reference assembly of "reftigs". The cioSav2 assembly contains 374 reftigs and has a total size of 174 Mb. See the Sidow Lab C. savignyi Reference Genome web page for more information about the assembly methods.
Bulk downloads of the sequence and annotation data are available via the Genome Browser FTP server or through the Sidow Lab Ciona downloads. The cioSav2 annotation tracks were generated by UCSC and collaborators worldwide. See the Credits page for a detailed list of the organizations and individuals who contributed to this release.
