In April, May, and June, the NCBI Eukaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline released eighty-two new annotations in RefSeq!

Highlights:

• Homo sapiens (human) T2T-CHM13v2.0 now includes many more alternative splice variants
• Homo sapiens (human) GRCh38.p14 includes all transcripts from MANE v1.2, and includes over 78,000 new RefSeq Functional Element (RefSeqFE) features added since our last annotation in 2022
• Mus musculus (house mouse) GRCm39 integrates curation for over 3,000 genes and 14,000 transcripts since September 2020
