Project goal: To produce an improved structural annotation of the A. thaliana Col-0 genome based on a 2022 community consensus genome assembly

Project phases: Genome assembly, Automated annotation, Manual Review, NCBI/RefSeq Submission, Dissemination

Expected Timeline: Before we started: Roughly 14 months, starting Nov. 2022

As of Jan 2025: 26 months so far. The manual review and data integration/QC phase took a year longer than anticipated, due to various delays.

Genome Assembly

Automated Annotation

Manual Review

NCBI/RefSeq Submission

Dissemination/Integration

Schneeberger group to submit to NCBI

Schneeberger group to complete CC assembly

NCBI to run annotation pipeline

NCBI to provide gene lists for review

NCBI to review Col-CC and approve

TAIR to set up Apollo

TAIR to set up review training

Community to conduct manual review

TAIR to test NCBI submission with dummy data

TAIR to submit final annotation to GenBank

TAIR to run QC checks on final annotation

Write manuscript about community effort

Poster and/or talk at conference

TAIR to prepare update

Participants:

globally distributed scientists (UK, Germany, China, Canada, US, so far)
varying areas of expertise relevant to different phases of the project, not all participants are involved in all phases
TAIR will provide coordination/project management and hosting of the software for manual review
