Agenda

Assembly of CB4856 (Hawaiian) strain

LeDeana is about to publish a full assembly of CB4856. She has also produced an alignment against (an old version of) the N2 reference, and proposes to submit it to WormBase. Questions:

  • Should we host the assembly of CB4856 as a genome in its own right? Ir should we do as we've always done, and use the data to add to the variation set for CB4856 (which currently comprises data from numerous studies)?
  • If we want to host the genome in its own right, should we attempt to annotate it? It would be fairly straightforward to project the N2 gene models across, but should we go further than that, and curate known cases where the gene structure in wild isolates if different from N2?
  • More generally, what are the use-cases of this data set?
