Improved gene annotations of nine diplogastrid genomes. a Reannotation of nine diplogastrid genomes based on available RNA-seq data and the community-curated P. pacificus gene annotations results in a median improvement of 9% BUSCO completeness (single copy + duplicated, nematode odb10) over the previous versions [9]. b The barplots show the BUSCO completeness of annotated diplogastrid genomes, when only homology data from either C. elegans or P. pacificus are used. The more closely-related P. pacificus gene annotations are a consistently better reference data set than the C. elegans data. However, the quality of annotations inferred from homology data seems to decrease considerably when divergence exceeds the genus level. c The stacked barplot shows the number of gene models derived from RNA-seq or homology data for the final annotations
