This survey is designed to

1) Gather feedback regarding genome assembly and gene model identifier naming preferences for AgBioData species

2) Explore metrics used for assessing genome assembly quality

Our goal is to understand community preferences regarding naming conventions and use of genome quality metrics, supporting the development of recommendations for our community.

A genome typically starts from a single individual of a given species, assembled from small sequencing reads. Subsequent increments that aim to improve genome quality and annotation (that is, where the genes are and what they encode) will incorporate more technologies and include more individuals, accessions/varieties/cultivars/breeds, as illustrated by this genome timeline.
How does one come up with a clear and unique identifier for each gene model from each of these genome assemblies?
Such is the goal of this survey
