Gene Annotation for a Genome Assembly of the stalk-eyed fly, Teleopsis dalmanni

Abstract

This generic feature format (gff) file contains a set of expressed, protein-coding genes annotated from a Teleopsis dalmanni transcriptome assembly (BioProject PRJNA240197) that were aligned to three chromosome-length scaffolds (BioProject PRJNA391339) using GMAP (Wu and Watanabe 2005) allowing for up to 10 gene alignments (“paths”) per gene (--npaths=10 --format=gff3_gene). Annotations were removed as potential transposable elements (TEs) misannotated as genes if they had >50% alignment overlap with any TE annotation from Repmasker. Baker, R. H., A. Narechania, R.
