[ensembl-dev] Question about stop codons and EnsEMBL pipeline

[Marc P. Hoeppner]

Hi,

reading the recently published Gorilla genome paper, I came across a 
gene that they list as having a premature stop codon - TEX14 
(ENSGGOG00000011348). Checking the website and using the API to retrieve 
the translateable_seq on the transcripts, it would appear that this gene 
produces valid protein sequences.

My question is therefore - is there something internal to the annotation 
process or API that would patch up such stop codons, perhaps assuming 
that a sequencing error is a more plausible explanation? I hope that 
makes sense somehow ;)
