Updating annotations in light of new data--UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Additional data can improve an existing annotation. mRNA-Seq data from additional tissues, developmental time points, and experimental conditions can provide evidence support for genes that are expressed in specific tissues and/or specific developmental time points and/or under certain experimental conditions. All genome annotation projects--that I am aware of--start before mRNA-Seq data for every combination of tissues, developmental time points, and experimental conditions are available. As work continues on a given organism more and more data of this type becomes available and updating the original annotation becomes desirable. You can us MAKER to do this!

This is what this looks like in the MAKER control file
