SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on interpreting a FASTA header from the mouse genome, specifically the entry >genescaffold:dipOrd1:GeneScaffold_6031:21480:5787 8:-1. It clarifies that the gene is located between bases 21480 and 57878 on an unspecified mouse chromosome and is transcribed along the reverse strand. The user seeks assistance in identifying the specific chromosome and understanding the terms "gene scaffold" and "dipOrd1".

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of FASTA format and headers
  • Familiarity with genomic coordinates and transcription direction
  • Knowledge of mouse genome assembly versions
  • Basic concepts of gene scaffolding in genomics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research mouse genome assembly versions, specifically GRCm39
  • Learn about gene scaffolding and its significance in genomics
  • Investigate the meaning of "dipOrd1" in genomic contexts
  • Explore tools for visualizing genomic data, such as UCSC Genome Browser
USEFUL FOR

Genomic researchers, bioinformaticians, and anyone involved in mouse genetics or genomic data analysis will benefit from this discussion.

Normally when we have a FASTA header on top of a sequence of a gene in ncbi you expect something like

>chromosome:NCBI36:7:100155759:100159857:1

This clearly indicate that on the 7th chromosome and between bases 100155759 and 100159857 the concerned gene is present. It further tells us that its the human genome (NCBI36) and that the gene is transcribed in the direction of the forward strand.

But let's come back to the title which actually is also a FaSTA header present on top of a sequence of a gene in ncbi. Now its the mouse genome (found that out separately, and I know the gene lies between 21480 and 57878 and that its transcribed along the reverse strand). But where does the gene lie (as in which mouse chromosome)? And what's this gene scaffold ? And what's dipOrd1?

Lots of thanks in advance.
