Closely related species lift-over#
When you intend to annotate your recently assembled genome and find that there is no pre-annotated reference for the same species or that a closely related species has significantly better annotations than your assembled species, you can use LiftOn to transfer annotations between the two species.
LiftOn is particularly effective in mapping annotation between closely-related species. Here is an example of using LiftOn to transfer annotations from Homo sapiens GRCh38 to Pan troglodytes (chimpanzee).
