Ensembl Genes (ensGene) Track Description
 

Description

These gene predictions were generated using the Ensembl annotation system.

Methods

For a description of the methods used in Ensembl gene prediction, refer to Hubbard et al. (2002) in the References section below.

Credits

The Fugu genome was annotated using the Ensembl system by the Fugu informatics group at the Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (IMCB) in Singapore. Thanks to IMCB's Shawn Hoon for providing these annotations.
