About Selaginella moellendorffii

Selaginella moellendorffii is a spikemosse. They belong to the subdivsion of higher vascular plant called lycophytes,an ancient group of plants appeared around 410 million years ago. S.moellendorffii is the first nonseeded plant genome reported, making it a key species for plant evolution studies. Selaginella moellendorffii has a nuclear genome size of approx. 100Mbp, which is the smallest genome size of any plant reported.

Annotation

The genome annotation for Selaginella moellendorffii has been derived from annotation submitted to the EMBL/Genbank/DDBJ databases; and enhanced by importing data from additional sources, principally UniProtKB and GOA. Non coding RNA genes have been annotated using tRNAScan-SE (Lowe, T.M. and Eddy, S.R. 1997) , RFAM (Griffiths-Jones et al 2005), and RNAmmer (Lagesen K.,et al 2007); additional analysis tools have also been applied.
