G-OnRamp: Generating genome browsers to facilitate undergraduate-driven collaborative genome annotation
Fig 6
Case study: Annotation using parasitoid wasp G-OnRamp browsers.
A. The workflow for identifying genes of interest and creating student annotation projects based on G-OnRamp browsers. B. The student annotation workflow. Students are assigned a project and will then work through either of the two sub-workflows depending on homology of the gene of interest to the reference genome. Boxes in yellow define the sub-workflow for genes with homology to the reference genome; cyan boxes define the sub-workflow for genes lacking homology to the reference genome. C. An example student annotation of a gene with no homology to the reference genomes (D. melanogaster or Nasonia vitripennis). Survey respondents identified lack of homology to an informant genome as one of the main challenges in annotating new species. RNA-Seq, RNA sequencing.
