Is the Rice Genome Annotation Project annotation the same as that of the Rice Annotation Project (RAP)?
The Rice Genome Annotation Project and the Rice Annotation Project are separate projects focused on annotating the rice genome. Different pseudomolecules and different methods/criteria are used to identify gene models between the two groups. While some of the annotation may be similar between the two groups, the annotation will differ due to the alternative annotation methods used in the two projects.
