Announcing New Names for Eukaryotic Genome Annotations in RefSeq!

The RefSeq eukaryotic genome annotation pipeline (EGAP) is moving to a new annotation naming format that can be used to unambiguously reference both the genome assembly and the RefSeq annotation. This will improve clarity when reporting the data you use and make the data more FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable). The new naming convention applies … Continue reading Announcing New Names for Eukaryotic Genome Annotations in RefSeq!

NIH Comparative Genomics Resource project

The potential impact of emerging model organisms on human health Comparative genomics is a science that compares genomic data either within a species or across species to answer questions in biomedicine. Laboratory experiments can then investigate the functional impact of those genomics similarities and differences. The history of comparative genomics goes back to the mid-1990s, … Continue reading NIH Comparative Genomics Resource project
