| The Human and Vertebrate Analysis and Annotation (HAVANA) group at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute produced the manually annotated geneset for the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) pilot project and, as part of the Gencode subgroup, are reprising this role in the scale up to cover the whole human genome. Our manual annotation is checked computationally and validated experimentally. Loci and transcripts predicted to be absent from the initial annotation are identified by comparison with a number of state-of-the-art algorithms for identifying exons, splice sites, transcripts and pseudogenes. Where novel features are confirmed the annotation is updated. Annotated coding transcripts are analysed to assess their coding potential by investigating... |
