[ensembl-dev] Source of RefSeq annotations used in VEP

[John M.C. Ma]

Hi all,

Currently, there's an option of using RefSeq annotations for 17
species. While the info.txt file from the cache files in question do
list the source GFF annotation (for example, for
homo_sapiens_refseq_vep_89_GRCh38.tar.gz the source annotation is
listed as GCF_000001405.34_GRCh38.p8_genomic.gff), does Ensembl uses
the annotations verbatim, or do you perform extra steps to map the
features in question?

Thanks for your answer in response.
