The Korf Lab Website

This is the website for Ian Korf's research group at the Genome Center, UC Davis. Find out about what we do, about the people in our lab, and the software tools and data we have available for you to use.

We can help you!

Some of our recent research has involved using our CEGMA software pipeline to study the many whole genome shotgun genome sequences (WGS) available. In a recently submitted manuscript that looks at the utility and completeness of WGS genomes, we have shown that the genome annotations of these sequences frequently miss important, and highly-conserved genes. As a free service, we will run our CEGMA pipeline software against your (eukaryotic) genome sequence to:

• assess how many genes are likely to be present/absent in that assembly
• accurately predict the structures of a set of conserved genes that we believe are present in all eukaryotes.
