“With GenePRIMP we have achieved a major breakthrough in the improvement of the quality of structural annotations such as gene predictions,” said Genome Biology Program head and study senior author Nikos Kyrpides. He pointed out that using GenePRIMP offers researchers three major advantages: high quality results with reduced errors; an approach that can be used regardless of the automated software originally used to check gene annotations; and finally a method to standardize gene calling.
