Eukaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline now directly annotates top-level sequences, not scaffolds

The Eukaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline has been modified to directly annotate RefSeq assemblies’ top-level sequences (chromosomes, and unplaced and unlocalized scaffolds) instead of scaffolds. This change, included in software release 7.0, improves the annotation of features spanning gaps between adjacent scaffolds, and applies to all upcoming annotation releases, including human (scheduled for May 2016).
