Phosphatase GeneID AqueP159

AqueP159, AqueP160, AqueP161: redundant?

AqueP159 is updated and one residue longer than Aqu1.210066 (PAC:15708594). By BLASTNing the genomic sequence against sponge genome in Ensemblgenomes.org, the best hit except itself is 98.6% identity and overlaps with the region encoding AqueP161, i.e. Aqu1.219849 (PAC:15718377) on Contig13380. We currently annotate AqueP160 as a gene different from AqueP161 and AqueP160.

AqueP160 is a new gene model predicted from a short contig Contig110 (only 870 bp). By BLASTNing the genomic sequence against sponge genome in Ensemblgenomes.org, the best hit except itself is 98.6% identity and overlaps with the region encoding AqueP161, i.e. Aqu1.219849 (PAC:15718377) on Contig13380. We currently annotate AqueP160 as a gene different from AqueP161 and AqueP159.

However, we cannot exclude AqueP159 and AqueP160 is encoded by the same gene, because i) they are different part of DULLARD in protein sequence, that is why their protein and genomic sequences do not overlap with each other, ii) we cannot build longer gene models from the two contigs Contig12601 and Contig110. Contig12601 is 26501 bp long and has two long regions of gaps; Contig110 is very short 870 bp.
