After a very long interval (ca.2 years), I have updated the sequence database for aLeaves. This update does not only incorporate an increment in NCBI but also encompasses some of the species in Ensembl and Ensembl Metazoa introduced after the last update in 2018 (Ensembl release 93 and Ensembl Metazoa release 38). In total, 10 sauropsids (reptiles and birds), 6 actinopterygian fishes, and 1 invertebrate deuterostome have been newly included (marked with '*' in this Species page) which are listed below:
Sauropsids
Dromaius novaehollandiae (emu)
Struthio camelus australis (African ostrich)
Strigops habroptila (owl parrot or kakapo)
Crocodylus porosus (Australian saltwater crocodile)
Pogona vitticeps (central bearded dragon)
Notechis scutatus (Mainland tiger snake)
Chelonoidis abingdonii (Abingdon island giant tortoise)
Sphenodon punctatus (tuatara)
Salvator merianae (Argentine black and white tegu)
Gopherus agassizii (Agassiz’s desert tortoise)
Actinopterygian fishes
Esox lucius (northern pike)
Ictalurus punctatus (channel catfish)
Hippocampus comes (tiger tail seahorse)
Mola mola (ocean sunfish)
Paramormyrops kingsleyae (elephant fish or elephant nose fish)
Scleropages formosus (Asian arowana)
Invertebrate deuterostome
Branchiostoma lanceolatum (European lancelet or Mediterranean amphioxus)
More species (especially, mammals and actinopterygian fishes) have been covered by Ensembl, but I have adopted only the species above, to minimize the manual and computational load of maintenance while maximizing the species diversity.
I truly hope that we will be in a more comfortable world when I commit the next update.
Stay safe and healthy,
Shigehiro Kuraku
