Some of the highlights are: C.elegans Nanopore data has been integrated and is being used to improve UTR annotation. Further work on improving our automatic transcript annotation is ongoing. This release includes a few hundred gene splits in Pristionchus pacificus predicted by the Sommer lab based on IsoSeq analysis. More will be included in future releases.
