Updated annotation for Aedes aegypti reference genome AaegL5 with extended 3' UTRs

Description

Updated annotation file for the AaegL5 genome generated and used in the Adavi et al. 2024 bioRxiv preprint: https://doi.org/10.1101/2024.08.21.608847

Key updates (to VectorBase-55_AaegyptiLVP_AGWG.gff) include:

  • Addition of several chemoreceptors that were annotated in previous work
  • Automated extension of 3' UTRs (by up to 750bp) for all genes where supported by antennal neuron snRNAseq data
  • Further manual extension of 3'UTRs for some chemoreceptors where supported by antennal neuron snRNAseq data

For more information on this annotation and the way it was generated, please see the Methods section of the above preprint.
