The genome was annotated using both EVM/PASA pipeline and cufflinks/transdecoder. Both these annotation have their strength. Cufflinks provides a better representation of transcript diversity, limits and TSSs positions. Conversely, EVM generates more robust predicted proteins, especially in regard to frameshifts, etc… A final annotation with unified IDs (BL00000) was subsequently built by merging the two annotations with a suffix indicative of their origin (BL00000_evm0 or BL00000_cuff0).
