Ensembl gene predictions for C. briggsae available
The Ensembl project has published a new gene build
for C. briggsae. The number of genes is about half the size of the canonical
set because of Ensembl’s conservative use of existing proteins to
confirm genes, but these models are thought to be highly reliable.
