Gene 73 of phage Krampus is best labeled as a RuvC-like resolvase. Resolvase is too general of term to use. (Determined in a conversation with G. Hatfull. |

In calling the immunity repressor of a phage JF2 (gp71), we came across a peculiar finding. It seems that the immunity repressor's open reading frame has less coding potential than another open reading frame in that area. Don't be fooled! JF2's immunity repressor shows hits in HHPred to the HTH DNA binding site (N-terminus). Read Pope, et al 2011a for info about Bxz2's broken repressor. However, our gene doesn't match that N terminus either. Many (did I say many?) phages have miscalled the open reading frame as the immunity repressor. Be careful. We will fix as soon as we can. debbie |

Greg, It is 11:59am on January 23 and I was able to update with no problem. The latest update is version 5.23.3, Build2640, 22 January 2020. Are you still having problems with the update? |

Hi Ann, the answer is in Setting Preferences in the on-line Bioinformatics Guide. It is item #2 (click the box and enter "Hatfull" as the password), but check the other preferences while you are there. Thanks, debbie |

Nancy, Hi. Your preferences are not set correctly. The NCBI servers are not available to us anymore. Check Setting Preferences in the on-line Bioinformatics Guide, #2. Click the box and the password needed is Hatfull. You may want to check all of the preference settings while you are at it. debbie |

Fernando, Hi. Did you get this issue resolved. If not, please send me your file. Thanks, debbie djs@pitt.edu |

Susan, Hi! Start by updating your DNA Master. The current version is 5.23.3 Build 2639 from November 6, 2019. So the exact dates escape me, but the reason (I think) your version may not be working is that you do not have DNA Master pointing to the right servers. We have Glimmer and GeneMark running on our own servers. Go to 'Setting your Preferences' in the Bioinformatics Guide to check. If you still are having problems, there are more options. debbie |

Steve, Excellent question, because we simply do not know. But yes, at this time, you can apply it generally! debbie |

Dana, Thanks for the heads-up. This periodically happens due to the way GeneMark makes this available. It is corrected. Your auto-annotation should now include Glimmer and GeneMark calls. debbie |

Here is what I know so far. A slippery sequence could not be found in the original EA1 and EA2 annotations. We have looked at EA1 - EA8 annotations so far. Slippery sequences have been annotated in Subclusters EA3,EA4,EA5,and EA6, not in Subclusters EA1, EA2, EA7, and EA8. So if you can find a canonical sequence for the slippage, i would recommend calling it. if you can't, then don't. |
