NCBI annotates 300th organism with the Eukaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline

The NCBI Eukaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline celebrates the annotation of its 300th organism this month! The lucky 300th is Sinocyclocheilus anshuiensis, a cavefish of interest for its adaptation to subterranean habitats. Vertebrates represent about two thirds of the list of 300, but invertebrates and higher plants are also represented. Recently, NCBI has annotated the rice (Oryza sativa subspecies Japonica) and the tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) genomes.
