Working on a non-model genome and need help? - Repeat library construction - Multi-evidence gene prediction - RNA-seq guided annotation - BUSCO QC at every step I build custom pipelines. DMs open. #Bioinformatics #Genomics

My genome annotation QC checklist: 1. BUSCO protein-mode > 90% 2. Gene count in expected range 3. Average gene length reasonable 4. Exon/intron ratio consistent 5. No assembly artifacts in models 6. Functional annotation > 70% What would you add? #Bioinformatics #Genomics

BUSCO tip most people miss: Genome-mode (98.1%) != Protein-mode (93.2%) Genome-mode includes internal stop codons and pseudogenes. Protein-mode reflects actual coding potential. Always report BOTH for a complete picture. #Bioinformatics #BUSCO #QC

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

Used 6 RNA-seq libraries from different Litsea tissues: HISAT2 > StringTie > merged GTF > TransDecoder Found 4,194 novel genes not predicted by protein methods alone. RNA-seq is irreplaceable for species-specific gene discovery. #Bioinformatics #RNAseq

miniprot mapped 28K+ proteins to a 1.33 Gb genome in just 5 minutes (64 threads). Peak RAM: 23 GB Result: 92.5% BUSCO from protein evidence alone For non-model species, miniprot is a game-changer for structural annotation. #Bioinformatics #Genomics

Repeat masking a 1.33 Gb plant genome: RepeatModeler: 9h 14min to build custom library RepeatMasker: 66.8% masked Tip: LTR_retriever can fail silently. Always check logs - missing LTR families = underestimating repeat content. #Bioinformatics #Genomics

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

Whole Exome Sequencing does not end at the lab. FastQC => BWA => GATK => ANNOVAR. Quality, alignment, deduplication, variant calling, filtering, annotation. Every step is a gate. Bad pipeline = bad science. #Bioinformatics #GrowWithPitchIn
