Many strains do not have a genotype, either because it was very difficult or nobody in the long history bothered. Here are some solutions to deal with some groups of strains automatically. After that, we could see how many are left and how we could deal with those.
Those strains that are annotated as ‘natural isolates’ (strain characteristic: wt
There is a group of strains we added because it’s good to know for researchers if others have tried to KO a gene and were unsuccessful or died. There are two groups with these bracketed names followed by a specific gene name:
-- [inviable] add: in
-- [unsuccessful] add: un
The Dicty live “V” strains all have in the strain summary "Strain record created from dicty_Life data” and their names are “V*** : axeA1,axeB1,axeC1,remi,bsR**
Note about the V strains: If we cannot add Ted's data to dictybase then they are useless and we need to discuss if we delete instead of spending the time and money.
