Lawson Lab zebrafish transcriptome annotation
We have assembled a transcript annotation for zebrafish that includes improved 3' UTR models and genes missing from Ensembl and RefSeq. The files needed to use this annotation for RNA-seq and follow-up analysis are provided below. Gene Transfer Format (.gtf) files comprise exon-, transcript- and gene-level annotation for use in RNA-seq pipelines. We also include gene information files with matching RefSeq, Ensembl, and ZFIN IDs. Links to the current version that we use (V4.3.2) are provided below. For more information see Lawson et al, eLife (2020). All earlier versions have been deprecated. If you would like them to reproduce the findings in our paper, please let us know.
