AgAnimalGenomes.org provides tools based on JBrowse and Apollo that allow livestock genomics researchers to browse and manually annotate livestock genome assemblies. While only registered users can submit data or access pre-release submitted genome annotations, anyone can view the genomes and all data tracks (e.g. genes, gene expression, QTL, SNP) with JBrowse, via the links in the navigation bar.
The Apollo annotation tool is a plugin for JBrowse that allows registered users to manually edit transcripts or add new genes or transcripts. If you would like to register to submit gene corrections or new annotations, use the Apollo Registration pull down menu to select an organism. After you submit the registration form, we will activate your account and send you an email. Once your account is activated, you can use the JBrowse/Apollo menu to select a genome, then login using a link in the upper right corner of the JBrowse view.
Note that Chicken GRCg6a is not available for Apollo annotation because a newer reference genome is available.
