In June and July, the NCBI Eukaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline released twenty-six new annotations in RefSeq for the following organisms:
- Anopheles coluzzii (mosquito)
- Anopheles funestus (African malaria mosquito)
- Astyanax mexicanus (Mexican tetra)
- Athalia rosae (coleseed sawfly)
- Bactrocera dorsalis (oriental fruit fly)
- Brassica napus (rape)
- Brienomyrus brachyistius (bony fish)
- Canis lupus dingo (dingo) (pictured)
- Caretta caretta (Loggerhead turtle)
- Dendroctonus ponderosae (mountain pine beetle)
- Epinephelus fuscoguttatus (brown-marbled grouper)
- Lagopus muta (rock ptarmigan)
- Marmota marmota marmota (Alpine marmot)
- Nematostella vectensis (starlet sea anemone)
- Ostrea edulis (bivalve)
- Panthera uncia (snow leopard)
- Plutella xylostella (diamondback moth)
- Pyrus x bretschneideri (Chinese white pear)
- Rhincodon typus (whale shark)
- Rhipicephalus sanguineus (brown dog tick)
- Solanum stenotomum (eudicot)
- Solanum verrucosum (eudicot)
- Sphaerodactylus townsendi (lizard)
- Stegostoma fasciatum (shark)
- Triticum urartu (monocot)
- Ziziphus jujuba (common jujube)
Additionally, in June we upgraded our pipeline to version 10.0, and are now using STAR instead of Splign for aligning RNA-Seq reads.

RefSeq supports the NIH Comparative Genomics Resource (CGR), an NLM project to establish an ecosystem to facilitate reliable comparative genomics analyses for all eukaryotic organisms.
