Scientific SubCommittee: Annotation

High quality annotation is required to transform reference genome sequences into actionable knowledge. The annotation standards committee will propose standards for high-quality annotation of Phase I EBP genomes. These standards will include suggested input assembly quality, amounts of input annotation data such as long and short read transcriptome data from various library types and protein comparison data, multiple suggested software pipelines, and QC metrics to enable comparison of genomes annotated with different reproducible pipelines. The committee will also address the challenges of different taxa.
