Why Add Genome Annotation to Your De Novo Genome Assembly Service
- Fully leverage our complete sample-to-publishable assembly workflow.
- Trust our qualified annotation bioinformaticians to deliver on this crucial final step in genome assembly.
- High-throughput, bespoke annotation pipeline to maximize speed and accuracy.
How It Works
Maximize your genome assembly investment with accurate and complete gene annotation. Gene annotation errors will derail your downstream analyses: the experts at Dovetail can provide you with an annotated assembly you can trust. To confidently call genes, we require evidence from as many trustworthy sources as possible, which may include publicly available transcriptome data, protein databases, etc; however, the best evidence is RNAseq data from a variety of tissues and/or life stages from the species under study. If transcriptome data is unavailable, we can generate it for you as part of our complete service offering. Genes will be called, identified, and functionally annotated, then a qualified bioinformatician will manually curate up to 5 genes (Basic package) or 55 genes (Extended package) of your choice.
We apply the following steps to get you your accurately annotated genome:
- Repeat masking
- Model preparation
- Evidence collection
- High throughput genome annotation
- Manual curation
- Functional annotation



Myrtle Warbler
Dr. Brelsford and I have been working on warbler genomics together for nearly a decade now! Dovetail’s Chicago and Hi-C libraries are finally allowing us to put together our small scaffolds from our first-generation assembly towards a near chromosome-level genome. We are excited to see what advances this will bring us in our understanding of avian genome evolution!
