Hi,
Does anybody know some tool to correct genome annotations?
Thanks in advance!

It depends on what you want to do, are you preparing a genome submission yourself, or want to submit changes to an NCBI annotated genome? Or just clean up your own copy for internal use?Scott Monsma

We want to clean up the annotation. Some genes are shown as more than one due to frameshifts generating stop codons. Frameshift seem to occur because homopolimersComment

Are the frameshifts just due to sequence errors? Or actually occur biologically?
NCBI's submission tools might be able to help you find the annotations that have the problem, but they're a bit of a pain to work with. You would need to convert your annotations list to their 5 column table format, and then use tbl2asn to validate the features listed in the table.Scott Monsma

Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.
The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.

With the launch of new single-cell sequencing platforms in 2026, the field stands at an exciting inflection point. This article surveys the most impactful advances in the field and discusses how they’re reshaping research in cancer, immunology, and beyond.
Introduction
Single-cell sequencing technologies have undergone remarkable advances over the past decade, transitioning from low-throughput experimental approaches to highly scalable platforms capable of...05-22-2026, 06:42 AM -
Studying ecosystems means dealing with complex, multi-species communities that are hard to observe at scale. This complexity, however, hides many important questions to be answered, from how biogeochemical cycles work and how climate change can affect species distribution to how conservation strategies can work best.
Genomics, particularly since the expansion of NGS, has transformed ecosystem ecology. By sequencing environmental DNA, we can now assess biodiversity without direct...05-06-2026, 09:04 AM
