Description

This track represents the gene models for the T2T CHM13 assembly generated using the CAT (Compartive Annotation Toolkit) software.

Display convention

This track follows the display conventions for gene prediction tracks. The exons for putative non-coding genes and untranslated regions are represented by relatively thin blocks, while those for coding open reading frames are thicker. Gene names are displayed in 'pack' or 'full' mode. More information about each gene can be found by clicking on the specific gene/transcript model.

The following color key is used:

Methods

Comparative Annotation toolkit

Genome annotation for T2T CHM13 assembly was performed using Comparative Annotation Toolkit (CAT). CAT leverages whole-genome alignments generated by Cactus to transfer annotations from one source genome to one or more target genomes. CAT also runs AUGUSTUS in both the comparative gene prediction mode and in a single-genome mode that utilizes Iso-Seq data to predict alternative isoforms. CAT then combines all of these annotation methods into a final consensus annotation set that represents orthology relationships as well as species-specific information.
