Annotation of Other Genomic Features within the F Element Project

This presentation illustrates the unusual genomic features that GEP students have encountered as part of their annotation of Muller F Elements from Drosophila ananassae and D. bipectinata. The Muller F Elements in these two species have undergone substantial expansion compared to D. melanogaster. The presentation describes the basic strategy for identifying pseudogenes, retrogenes, partial gene duplications, pseudogene clusters, and nuclear mitochondrial DNA segments (NUMT) within these F Element annotation projects.

GEP Digital Laboratory Notebook

Developed by Dr. Nick Reeves at Mt. San Jacinto College, Menifee Valley Campus, this PowerPoint presentation provides a brief overview of the Digital Lab Notebook, which provides detailed guidance to students on the GEP annotation strategy.

Annotation Strategy Guide

This document illustrates how the strategies outlined in the Annotation Instruction Sheet can be applied to more challenging annotation cases.

Annotation Instruction Sheet

This document is a more in depth description of the evidence based annotation technique used by the GEP. This document is designed to complement and extend the basic technique described in the Annotation for D. virilis PowerPoint.

Common Finishing Errors

This PowerPoint presentation describes the common errors observed in student finishing projects.

Finishing Checklist

Students should complete all items on this checklist before submitting the project back to the GEP.

Strategies for Finishing Hybrid Assemblies

This document contains advice on the strategies students can use to resolve common problems they may encounter during sequence improvement.

Calling Additional Reads

Students will typically need to request additional sequencing reactions in order to improve the quality of an assembly. This document describes some of the key considerations that students should keep in mind when they design oligonucleotide primers.
