Fig. 3. Example of the visualization in the Apollo genome editor of the BITACORA output. The example includes the annotation features of three genes encoding NPC2 proteins that are arranged in tandem in the spider P. tepidariorum . Current automatic annotation of this genomic region obtained with MAKER2 (track PTEP_v0.5.3-Models), produced a chimeric gene model (PtepTmpM024154-RA; an artifactual two genes fusion), which is effectively curated by BITACORA (NPC2_5 and NPC2_6 gene models). The next three tracks are generated by BITACORA. The GFF3_NPC2_BITACORA track, which includes the final gene models, both curated or newly identified by the program, and the BED_NPC2_All and BED_NPC2_Novel tracks showing the position of all independent TBLASTN hits found in sequence similarity-based searches, or only those involving novel putative exons, respectively. Note that a novel coding sequence (not predicted in automatic annotations) is predicted by the program.
