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