2. 2 Contribution to the project Structural gene prediction Structural gene prediction Genome structure analyses Genome structure analyses Provide to EU-SOL-community with the genemodels as soon as ready Provide to EU-SOL-community with the genemodels as soon as ready Provide annotation tools to users Provide annotation tools to users

3. 3 Structural annotation Involves: Involves: Build training set for software training Build training set for software training Build a tomato/solanaceae-specific EuGene platform Build a tomato/solanaceae-specific EuGene platform Identify and annotate transposable elements, as those interfere with gene prediction Identify and annotate transposable elements, as those interfere with gene prediction Predict ncRNAs (tRNAs, rRNAs, microRNAs) Predict ncRNAs (tRNAs, rRNAs, microRNAs)

4. 4 Genome structure Analysis of whole genome structure using i-ADHoRe. Analysis of whole genome structure using i-ADHoRe. Provides overview of block duplications throughout the different available plant genomes Provides overview of block duplications throughout the different available plant genomes Will provide extensive orthologous genes between plant genomes. Will provide extensive orthologous genes between plant genomes.
