Make sure to evaluate any models you find as being a pseudogene. Run InterProScan on results to make sure they contain known InterPro domains for that gene family as well. Running without repeat masking will increase sensitivity but also false positives derived from low homology alignments to simple repeats which is why you need to evaluate results using something like InterProScan.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Also run BUSCO to evaluate the completeness of the genome. Make sure that the observed contraction is not just a result of an incomplete assembly.<br class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">—Carson</div><div class=""><br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Nov 16, 2017, at 12:46 PM, Quanwei Zhang <<a href="mailto:qwzhang0601@gmail.com" class="">qwzhang0601@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class=""><div class=""><div class=""><div class="">Hello:<br class=""><br class=""></div>We have annotated a new rodent genome using Maker2.
