Repeat masking for genome annotation

Repeat masking for genome annotation 0 I am working on a (plant) genome annotation pipeline and would like some advice regarding repeat masking. My pipeline consists of running several ab-initio gene prediction tools (Augustus, GlimmerHMM and SNAP) + transcript alignment (PASA) + protein alignment (genomeThreader) evidence + gene liftover (liftoff),…

Researchers Grow Stem Cells Aboard International Space Station In New Study

Scientists are growing stem cells in space in an effort to discover new ways to produce large batches of certain stem cells to treat a variety of diseases. Researchers from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles are behind the program that delivered stem cells to the International Space Station (ISS)…

Are there any alternatives to Liftoff

Are there any alternatives to Liftoff – Mapping annotations (GFF/GTF) between assemblies 2 Hi, I am annotating closely related accession (varieties) using reference assembly (please note that I am using only a region, so that is the reason why you don’t see chromosome info). I really liked liftoff (ver 1.6.1:…

local variable ‘feature_db’ referenced before assignment

Hi, I want to map annotations from rich gencode human gtf or gff3 to great apes’ genome. I tried to run liftoff (github.com/agshumate/Liftoff) but it returns error the below. Following the github issue’s post, I confirmed there’s no _db file before running, the annotation file is .gff3, the permission of…
