Integrating Genomic Data Sets for Knowledge Discovery: An Informed Approach to Management of Captive Endangered Species

Figure 1

Overview of genomic resource development steps. Raw data is quality controlled and then assembled. Repeats and noncoding features are structurally annotated and used to mask the genome sequence. Genes are then called on this masked sequence, followed by functional assignment. Genome assembly, repeats, noncoding features, and genes constitute basic genomic resources.
