Assembly Release QA Steps
Welcome to the Assembly Release: QA Guide 😀
Page created Fall. 2016 by Cath, Jairo, and ChrisV.
This page is currently a draft in progress.
For now, use Releasing_an_assembly instead.
Introduction
When a developer is ready for a new assembly to be released, the QA team (usually an individual of) will QA and release the assembly. This wiki section exists as a guide for the assembly QA and release process.
Change happens
Collaboration rocks. Keep me updated!
Think of when you were new to the job - update the wiki with your poor, floundering, confused, past-self in mind.
Don't hesitate to edit this puppy.
Editing this wiki will bring gaggles of glittery giggling unicorn-riding leprechauns to you, and they will improvise a dope rap about you that would make Snoop Dog jelly.
Do storks bring new assemblies in?
Where do assemblies come from?
All over.
Assemblies/sequences are submitted to the mother ship GenBank.
Those assemblies might be included in RefSeq if criteria are met.
- RefSeq assemblies:
- use accession ID: GCF_000002315.4 (e.g., galGal5)
- are delivered with chrMt (if they exisit)
- are delivered with NCBI gene predictions
- Genbank assemblies:
- use accession ID: GCA_000001305.2
- delivered without a chrMt.
- do not have gene predictions.
For the UCSC Genome Browser, it is preferable to use RefSeq assemblies (in part due to 'more data').
This is a "learn as we go" direction; historically GeneBank was preferred.
