Aquatic Symbiosis Genomics (ASG) Project

Aquatic Symbiosis Genomics (ASG) Project Logo

Aquatic Symbiosis Genomics Project is a global collaboration to generate high quality genome sequences for a wide range of eukaryotes and their microbial symbionts. Launched under the Symbiosis in Aquatic Systems Initiative of the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, the ASG Project brings together researchers from across the globe who hope to use these reference genomes to augment and extend their analyses of the dynamics, mechanisms and environmental importance of symbiosis. Applying large-scale, high-throughput sequencing and assembly technologies, the ASG collaboration aims tol assemble and annotate the genomes of 500 symbiotic organisms – both the “hosts” and the microbial symbionts with which they associate. These data will be released openly to benefit all who work on symbiosis, from conservation geneticists to those interested in the origin of the eukaryotic cell.

At Ensembl, we annotate the protein-coding and non-coding RNA gene structures using re-engineered versions of our Gene Annotation System (Aken et al, 2017) optimised for vertebrates and for non-vertebrates. When a species lacks transcriptomic data, we run BRAKER2 to generate hint-guided ab initio gene predictions of protein-coding genes, in the default protein mode (see the blog post for more information). After QC, genomes and annotations are made available via our FTP site (see table below) before subsequently being made available in the Ensembl Genome Browser.
