    Hi,<br>
    <br>
    That's right, the Atlantic Cod was the last case of a low coverage
    genome that we projected genes onto. For the time being we are too
    busy with the high coverage genomes though, including the low
    coverage that are now arriving as high coverage.<br>

      <div>You mentioned that you no longer build on low coverage
        genomes in Ensembl, what do you guys do with the short reads
        (such as Illumina GA II/Hiseq) assembled genomes? So far as I
        know the Atlantic Cod genome which was published last summer in
        Nature was built based on the projection genebuild.<br>

              <br>
              The document low_coverage_gene_build.txt is quite old and
              possibly very out of date as we no longer build on low
              coverage genomes in Ensembl. As far as I know, the reason
              that the semantics of the reference and target terms got
              swapped is to do with the importance of directionality in
              a Net. When dealing with the low coverage genomes the idea
              was that they wanted the species they were projecting onto
              as the reference because it is important that each bp in
              the target species aligns to at most one location in the
              reference species. <br>
              <br>
              I would suggest you also look at the Ensembl Compara
              documentation which is maintained here:<br>
              <br>
              ensembl-compara/docs/README-low-coverage-genome-aligner<br>
