In February and March, the NCBI Eukaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline released forty-two new annotations in RefSeq for the organisms listed below. Additionally, interim builds for over sixty species were run during that time period to fix some issues with gene symbol assignment.

• Agelaius phoeniceus (red-winged blackbird)
• Anastrepha ludens (Mexican fruit fly)
• Anopheles marshallii (mosquito)
• Anopheles nili (mosquito)
• Anoplopoma fimbria (sablefish)
• Artibeus jamaicensis (Jamaican fruit-eating bat)
• Bombina bombina (fire-bellied toad)
• Callithrix jacchus (white-tufted-ear marmoset)
• Cherax quadricarinatus (Australian red claw crayfish)
• Clarias gariepinus (North African catfish)
• Cuculus canorus (common cuckoo)
• Desmodus rotundus (common vampire bat)
• Dryobates pubescens (Downy woodpecker)
• Hylaeus anthracinus (bee)

• Ictalurus furcatus (blue catfish)
• Ictalurus punctatus (channel catfish)
• Indicator indicator (greater honeyguide)
• Macrosteles quadrilineatus (aster leafhopper)
• Malaclemys terrapin pileata (diamondback terrapin) (pictured)
• Melozone crissalis (California towhee)

RefSeq supports the NIH Comparative Genomics Resource (CGR), an NLM project to establish an ecosystem to facilitate reliable comparative genomics analyses for all eukaryotic organisms.

CGR is also making it easier to navigate between data and tools. To see this list and find out what’s in the RefSeq annotation pipeline, check out the new table in NCBI Datasets with info on the latest eukaryotic RefSeq annotations.
