Abstract

The primary research focus is developing for and using shared cyberinfrastructure for assembly, annotation and comparative analysis of new organism genomes. This fourth year effort has refined the genome/gene annotation software pipeline EvidentialGene, introduced the in prior annual report. In conjunction with this software engineering, it has been used to produce well annotated gene sets for Daphnia magna waterflea, pea aphid, Nasonia jewel wasp, and Theobroma cacao chocolate tree. This work uses the NSF-funded shared cyberinfrastructure of Teragrid/XSEDE and National Center for Genome Analysis Support.
