DownloadThe availability of biological information in public databases has increased exponentially. To ensure the accuracy of this information, researchers have adopted several methods and refinements to avoid the dissemination of incorrect information. However, manual curation ensures and enriches biological information. Additionally, the genomic finishing process is complex, resulting in increased deposition of drafts genomes. This introduces bias in other omics analyses because incomplete genomic. This is also observed for complete genomes. Thus, we developed ImproveAssembly, a tool capable of identifying new products missing from genomic sequences, which can be used for complete and draft genomes. The identified products can improve the annotation of complete genomes and drafts while significantly reducing the bias when the information is used in other omics analyses.
