Abstract
A well-annotated genome is necessary for the rapid identification of genes in the genome, gene mapping and functional analysis. The arrangement of any genome has typically taken many years, but with new sequencing methodologies, the time to produce genomes is greatly reduced; however, with this increased speed, there has been a deterioration in the quality of genomes, with many genomes being published as drafts. The newly published draft kiwifruit genome is a fantastic starting point for genomics in kiwifruit. However, as with all genomes, there is an opportunity to improve both the construction and annotation. In this chapter, we detail the state of the current annotation and propose a new initiative to generate better annotation of kiwifruit genes.
