Many genome annotations include false-positive gene models, leading to errors in phylogenetic and comparative studies. Here, we propose a method to support gene model prediction based on evolutionary conservation and use it to identify potentially erroneous annotations. Using this method, we developed a set of 15,345 representative gene models from 12 legume assemblies that can be used to support genome annotations for other legumes.
