Evidence That Inconsistent Gene Prediction Can Mislead Analysis of Dinoflagellate Genomes

Comparative algal genomics often relies on predicted genes from de novo assembled genomes. However, the artifacts introduced by different gene‐prediction approaches, and their impact on comparative genomic analysis remain poorly understood. Here, using available genome data from six dinoflagellate species in the Symbiodiniaceae, we identified methodological biases in the published genes that were predicted using different approaches and putative...
