AgamP3.5

AgamP3.5 was released at VectorBase in September 2009. The same annotation is visible at EnsemblGenome from release 3 (autumn 2009).

Changes from previous gene set AgamP3.4

Significant differences from the previous annotation include:

• Many more manually-appraised gene models, including most models on chromosome arm 3L and X

Details of genebuild

The AgamP3.5 gene annotation is an update of the AgamP3.4 gene set, replacing some of the gene models, rather than a new gene build, where all the gene models are regenerated.

Many additional manual/community annotated genes were available, making it essential to update the gene set. The newly available genes were incorporated in the existing gene set (AgamP3.4) as follow:

• where a manual or a community model was available, the gene was replaced by the new model,
• when no new model were available, the gene remained unchanged.
• Genes might have been added or removed.
• Conflict between manual or community models were resolved by a manual inspection.
