aPercentage is equal to (genes with same start and end position/Ref_annotation genes)*100.

bSimilarityScore = ((genes with same start position)/(Totalx + Totalz))*2*100. Totalx and Totalz are the total numbers of genes in the software annotation and reference annotation. The function is from BEACON (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4539851/).

cref_annotation means the reference annotation. It is from NCBI RefSeq.

dThe blank is here because the commercial tool CloudBlast is required for functional annotation.
