Annotation, comparison and databases for hundreds of bacterial genomes.

چکیده
The multitude of bacterial genome sequences being determined has opened up a new field of research, that of comparative genomics. One role of bioinformatics is to assist biologists in the extraction of biological knowledge from this data flood. Software designed for the analysis and functional annotation of a single genome have, in consequence, evolved towards comparative genomics tools, bringing together the information contained in numerous genomes simultaneously. This paper reviews advances in the development of bacterial annotation and comparative analysis tools, and progress in the design of novel database structures for the integration of heterogeneous biological information.

Restauro-G: A Rapid Genome Re-Annotation System for Comparative Genomics
Annotations of complete genome sequences submitted directly from sequencing projects are diverse in terms of annotation strategies and update frequencies. These inconsistencies make comparative studies difficult. To allow rapid data preparation of a large number of complete genomes, automation and speed are important for genome re-annotation. Here we introduce an open-source rapid genome re-ann...
متن کاملAutomatic Annotation of Microbial Genomes and Metagenomic Sequences
We have developed Fgenesb_annotator pipeline that provides completely automatic and comprehensive annotation of microbial genomic sequence. The pipeline identifies protein, tRNA and rRNA genes, finds potential promoters, terminators and operons. Finally potential functions are assigned to predicted proteins using comparison with a set of databases such as COG, KEGG and NR. The package provides ...
متن کاملMiST: a microbial signal transduction database
Signal transduction pathways control most cellular activities in living cells ranging from regulation of gene expression to fine-tuning enzymatic activity and controlling motile behavior in response to extracellular and intracellular signals. Because of their extreme sequence variability and extensive domain shuffling, signal transduction proteins are difficult to identify, and their current an...
متن کاملThe nature and dynamics of bacterial genomes.
Though generally small and gene rich, bacterial genomes are constantly subjected to both mutational and population-level processes that operate to increase amounts of functionless DNA. As a result, the coding potential of bacterial genomes can be substantially lower than originally predicted. Whereas only a single pseudogene was included in the original annotation of the bacterium Escherichia c...
متن کاملGAMOLA: a new local solution for sequence annotation and analyzing draft and finished prokaryotic genomes.
Laboratories working with draft phase genomes have specific software needs, such as the unattended processing of hundreds of single scaffolds and subsequent sequence annotation. In addition, it is critical to follow the "movement" and the manual annotation of single open reading frames (ORFs) within the successive sequence updates. Even with finished genomes, regular database updates can lead t...
