The Schistosoma mansoni genome sequencing consortium has recently released the latest
versions of the genome assembly as well as an automated preliminary gene structure
annotation. The combined datasets constitute a vast resource for researchers to exploit in a
variety of post-genomic studies with an emphasis of transcriptomic and proteomic tools.
Here we present an innovative method used for combining diverse sources of evidence
including ab initio gene predictions, protein and transcript sequence homologies, and cross …
