In addition , we have annotated two major assembly updates for rat ( Rnor 6.0 ) and zebrafish ( GRCz10 ) . Both gene sets include manual annotation from the HAVANA project . We have also recently updated our lincRNA annotation methods to using candidate transcript models built from RNA - seq data . These are tested for protein coding potential by searching for Pfam domains and alignments to the UniProt database . Models that show no protein coding potential are labelled as lincRNA . We have applied this method to generate lincRNAs for rat and sheep and aim to extend the method to other species over the coming year . We have also produced preliminary transcript models for Crab - eating macaque ( Macaca fascicularis ) and sperm whale ( Physeter macrocephalus ) by aligning experimental data and homologous proteins ; these are available on our Pre ! website .
