RefSeq annotation of the Strongylocentrotus purpuratus reference genome sequence. Strongylocentrotus purpuratus

The reference sequence (RefSeq) genome assembly is provided by NCBI using assembly instructions provided by the Human Genome Sequencing Center at Baylor College of Medicine. The reference genome is annotated using an evidence-based approach that interprets ab initio predictions (About) in the context of alignment results of a) curated RefSeq records that are maintained independently of the genome annotation process; b)cDNA and EST transcript data; c) protein sequence data.
