Sue Celniker’s group has provided FlyBase with updated RNA-Seq coverage data for the modENCODE transcriptome datasets. The high-throughput sequencing reads from these experiments have been re-aligned to the new BDGP Release 6 reference genome assembly (NCBI accession GCA_000001215.4). This update ...

The identification of full length transcripts entirely from short-read RNA sequencing data (RNA-seq) remains a challenge in the annotation of genomes. Here researchers from the University of California at Berkeley describe an automated pipeline for genome annotation that integrates RNA-seq ...
