Description

This track represents the gene predictions generated by RefSeq. An overview of all the tracks provided by EPD for the amel5 assembly can be seen in table format here.

Methods

Gene annotation data was downloaded in GFF format and converted to BED using gff3ToGenePred and genePredToBed.
For a description of the methods used in RefSeq gene prediction, refer to Pruitt et al. (2012) in the References section below.

Credits
