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

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
