This page is currently a draft in progress.
For now, use Releasing_an_assembly instead.


Introduction

When a developer is ready for a new assembly to be released, the QA team (usually an individual of) will QA and release the assembly. This wiki section exists as a guide for the assembly QA and release process.

There are two types of assemblies that the QA team will process:

  1. New species
  2. New version for existing species


Change happens

Collaboration rocks. Keep me updated!
Editing this wiki will bring gaggles of glittery giggling unicorn-riding leprechauns to you, and they will improvise a dope rap about you that would make Snoop Dog jelly.


Assembly notes

Assemblies/sequences, from various organizations, are submitted to the mother ship GenBank.
Those assemblies might be included in RefSeq if criteria are met.


RefSeq assemblies:
use accession ID: GCF_000002315.4 (e.g., galGal5)
are delivered with chrMt (if they exisit)
are delivered with NCBI gene predictions
Genbank assemblies:
use accession ID: GCA_000001305.2
delivered without a chrMt.
do not have gene predictions.


For the UCSC Genome Browser, it is preferable to use RefSeq assemblies (in part due to 'more data'). This is a "learn as we go" direction; historically GeneBank was preferred.
