We conducted the re-annotation of the IPO323 genome using a pipeline that identifies the most probable gene models based on information from transcript assemblies, homology searches, and ab initio gene predictors (Haas et al. 2011). This allowed us to identify 11,839 gene models, including 1200 models that were not predicted previously by the JGI. The support of RNA-seq data for most of these genes underlines the potential of our pipeline for identifying novel genes.
