This is the recording from the webinar held on 12 December 2018 on our new joint initiative: the Matched annotation from the NCBI and EMBL-EBI (MANE) project.
The aim of the project is to converge on transcript annotation to jointly define a high-confidence, genome-wide transcript set. All transcripts in the set will perfectly align to the GRCh38 reference assembly and represent 100% identity (5’UTR, CDS, 3’UTR) between the Ensembl (ENST) transcript and the corresponding RefSeq (NM) transcript. We anticipate this dataset will provide a common framework for clinical reporting, comparative genomics, and cross-study data comparisons.
