In summary, we show how to refine protein sequences using RNA-Seq data and sequence information from closely related species. With the a&o-tool we provide a fully automated pipeline to perform refinement including cDNA translation and multiple sequence alignment for visual inspection. The major prerequisite for applying the a&o-tool is high quality sequencing data.
