| Project Name | LiftOn |
| Project Description | LiftOn is a homology-based lift-over tool using both DNA-DNA alignments (from Liftoff, credits to Dr. Alaina Shumate) and protein-DNA alignments (from miniprot, credits to Dr. Heng Li) to accurately map annotations between genome assemblies of the same or different species. LiftOn employs a two-step protein maximization algorithm to improve the annotation of protein-coding genes in the T2T-CHM13. |
