Description

The GENCODE Genes track (version 32, Sept 2019) shows high-quality manual annotations merged with evidence-based automated annotations across the entire human genome generated by the GENCODE project. The GENCODE gene set presents a full merge between HAVANA manual annotation process and Ensembl automatic annotation pipeline. Priority is given to the manually curated HAVANA annotation using predicted Ensembl annotations when there are no corresponding manual annotations. The 32 annotation was carried out on genome assembly GRCh38 (hg38).

The Ensembl human and mouse data sets are the same gene annotations as GENCODE for the corresponding release.

Downloads

GENCODE GFF3 and GTF files are available from the GENCODE release 32 site.

Verification

Selected transcript models are verified experimentally by RT-PCR amplification followed by sequencing. Those experiments can be found at GEO:

See Harrow et al. (2006) for information on verification techniques.

Release Notes

GENCODE version 32 corresponds to Ensembl 98.
