ANNIE: integrated de novo protein sequence annotation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Function prediction of proteins with computational sequence analysis requires the use of dozens of prediction tools with a bewildering range of input and output formats. Each of these tools focuses on a narrow aspect and researchers are having difficulty obtaining an integrated picture. ANNIE is the result of years of close interaction between computational biologists and computer scientists and automates an essential part of this sequence analytic process. It brings together over 20 function prediction algorithms that have proven sufficiently reliable and indispensable in daily sequence analytic work and are meant to give scientists a quick overview of possible functional assignments of sequence segments in the query proteins. The results are displayed in an integrated manner using an innovative AJAX-based sequence viewer. ANNIE is available online at: http://annie.bii.a-star.edu.sg. This website is free and open to all users and there is no login requirement.

Integrative structural annotation of de novo RNA-Seq provides an accurate reference gene set of the enormous genome of the onion (Allium cepa L.)
The onion (Allium cepa L.) is one of the most widely cultivated and consumed vegetable crops in the world. Although a considerable amount of onion transcriptome data has been deposited into public databases, the sequences of the protein-coding genes are not accurate enough to be used, owing to non-coding sequences intermixed with the coding sequences. We generated a high-quality, annotated onio...
متن کاملStructural annotation of proteins using probabilistic context-free grammars
Large scale structural annotation is essential to systems biology, since it contributes to functional annotation and clustering of proteins. Although the most general approach to structure annotation relies on de novo structure prediction [1], it is most often impractical due to very high demand for computational resources. Therefore, efficient methods based on sequence profiles have been propo...
متن کاملEvolution of Viral Proteins Originated De Novo by Overprinting
New protein-coding genes can originate either through modification of existing genes or de novo. Recently, the importance of de novo origination has been recognized in eukaryotes, although eukaryotic genes originated de novo are relatively rare and difficult to identify. In contrast, viruses contain many de novo genes, namely those in which an existing gene has been "overprinted" by a new open ...
متن کاملGeSeq – versatile and accurate annotation of organelle genomes
We have developed the web application GeSeq (https://chlorobox.mpimp-golm.mpg.de/geseq.html) for the rapid and accurate annotation of organellar genome sequences, in particular chloroplast genomes. In contrast to existing tools, GeSeq combines batch processing with a fully customizable reference sequence selection of organellar genome records from NCBI and/or references uploaded by the user. Fo...
متن کاملPutatively Noncoding Transcripts Show Extensive Association with Ribosomes
There have been recent surprising reports that whole genes can evolve de novo from noncoding sequences. This would be extraordinary if the noncoding sequences were random with respect to amino acid identity. However, if the noncoding sequences were previously translated at low rates, with the most strongly deleterious cryptic polypeptides purged by selection, then de novo gene origination would...
