Retraction of: Hayai-Annotation Plants: an ultra-fast and comprehensive functional gene annotation system in plants, Bioinformatics, Volume 35, Issue 21, 1 November 2019, Pages 4427–4429, https://doi.org/10.1093/bioinformatics/btz380
Following article publication, the journal published a letter1 detailing errors found in the evaluation methodology employed with the Hayai tool. The journal has since investigated and determined there are several critical flaws that render the findings unreliable, so the editors and authors have ultimately agreed to retract the article.
