BASys -- a web server for automated bacterial genome annotation
What you can do:
Perform automated and in-depth annotation of bacterial genomes.
Highlights:
- BASys (Bacterial Annotation System) is a web server that supports automated, in-depth annotation of bacterial genomic (chromosomal and plasmid) sequences.
- It accepts raw DNA sequence data and an optional list of gene identification information and provides extensive textual annotation and hyperlinked image output.
- BASys uses >30 programs to determine approximately 60 annotation subfields for each gene, including gene/protein name, GO function, COG function, possible paralogues and orthologues, molecular weight, isoelectric point, operon structure, subcellular localization, signal peptides, transmembrane regions, secondary structure, 3D structure, reactions and pathways.
- The depth and detail of a BASys annotation matches or exceeds that found in a standard SwissProt entry.
- BASys also generates colorful, clickable and fully zoomable maps of each query chromosome to permit rapid navigation and detailed visual analysis of all resulting gene annotations.
- The textual annotations and images that are provided by BASys can be generated in approximately 24 h for an average bacterial chromosome (5 Mb).
- BASys annotations may be viewed and downloaded anonymously or through a password protected access system.
