Frankliniella occidentalis Official Gene Set OGSv1.1
The *Frankliniella occidentalis* genome was recently sequenced and annotated as part of the i5k pilot project by the Baylor College of Medicine. The *Frankliniella occidentalis* research community has manually reviewed and curated the computational gene predictions and generated an official gene set, OGSv1.0. OGSv1.0 was generated by merging gene set FOCC-V0.5.3-Models generated by the Baylor College of Medicine, and community-curated models in the Apollo software, after QC of the Apollo output. After the merge, scaffolds that were likely bacterial contamination were identified by John H. Werren, and gene models overlapping with these contaminated regions were removed from the OGS.
