Counterintuitive finding: Stricter EVM filtering DECREASED BUSCO (81.2% to 79.5%). Why? Aggressive filtering removes real genes with weak evidence in non-model species. Solution: Keep lenient EVM output, rescue with ortholog validation. #Bioinformatics #GenomeAnnotation

BUSCO progression in our pipeline: EVM raw: 81.2% +filtering: 79.5% +miniprot: 92.5% +merged: 93.2% Genome: 98.1% EVM alone misses ~12% of conserved genes. Protein alignment rescue is essential. #Bioinformatics #GenomeAnnotation

4 annotation strategies on a 1.33Gb plant genome: Ab initio: 97K genes (overprediction) EVM: 40K, BUSCO 80.8% Miniprot: 28K, BUSCO 92.5% Miniprot+RNA-seq: 32K, BUSCO 93.2% More evidence ≠ better. Quality > quantity. #Bioinformatics #GenomeAnnotation
