The following researchers have enthusiastically expressed their desire to assist the annotators of the genomic sequence with annotation relating to specific genes or gene families. It is our hope that the bringing together of the genomic and research communities in this manner will produce a richer and more accurate annotation report attached to the genomic sequence. Please consult the individuals listed with questions regarding gene modeling, significance of homology search results, or the biological role of the encoded protein.
