View genomes in Artemis via remote launch (for high speed connections)

view sample Artemis display
  1. Go to the Artemis page at Sanger
    Click on the Download tab that appears there
    Under Java Web Start
    click on:
    LAUNCH >
    Select the "Open with Java Webstart Launcher" option. The Artemis launch window will appear.

  2. Go to "File>Open EBI Dbfetch" in the Artemis launch window menu.
    When prompted, enter the EBI accession number (see the table below) of the entry you wish to view.

    Update frequency:
    Recent annotation updates are usually reflected in the following databases within a month of their posting on the PPI updates page (see updates). However, the EMBL/EBI/Genbank databases reflect updates more rapidly than RefSeq.


    Sequence/Entry EMBL/EBI/Genbank accession RefSeq accession
    Pto DC3000 chromosome AE016853 NC_004578
    Pto DC3000 pDC3000A AE016855 NC_004633
    Pto DC3000 pDC3000B AE016854 NC_004632
    Psy B728a chromosome CP000075 NC_007005
    Psp 1448A chromosome CP000058 NC_005773
    Psp 1448A p1448A-A CP000059 NC_007274
    Psp 1448A p1448A-B CP000060 NC_007275

  3. Artemis can display multiple feature files superimposed on the main entry. View feature files available for the P. syringae genomes

 

View genomes in Artemis via downloaded program and sequence files

In some cases it is preferable to download the Artemis program rather than launching it remotely. To download, go to the Artemis page at Sanger, select the Download tab, and follow the instructions appropriate for your operating system.

Sequence files can be downloaded from the FTP site at NCBI or EMBL (accessible by the hyperlinked accession numbers in the table above). For more detailed information on running Artemis from your local system, go to the following resources:

Viewing specific genome features in Artemis:

Artemis can display multiple feature files superimposed on the main entry. To download the feature files listed, open by clicking on the file name and save as text. Artemis can read files with various extensions including .txt. .tab and .gff. View sample Artemis display with feature files.
