Show abstract

1A high-quality reference genome assembly, a biobank of diverse equine tissues from the Functional Annotation of the Animal Genome (FAANG) initiative, and incorporation of long-read sequencing technologies, have enabled efforts to build a comprehensive and tissue-specific equine transcriptome. The equine FAANG transcriptome reported here provides up to 45% improvement in transcriptome completeness across tissue types when compared to either RefSeq or Ensembl transcriptomes. This transcriptome also provides major improvements in the identification of alternatively spliced isoforms, novel noncoding genes, and 3 transcription termination site (TTS) annotations. The equine FAANG transcriptome will empower future functional studies of important equine traits while providing future opportunities to identify allele-specific expression and differentially expressed genes across tissues.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
