Introduction:
- What is genome annotation?
- Current challenges
- Best practices
- Introduction to functional annotation with EnTAP
- Introduction to structural and functional annotation with EASEL
Running EnTAP as a standalone tool:
- Installing dependencies
- Setting parameters and executing
Running EASEL:
- Installing dependencies
- Setting parameters and executing
Annotating Juglans cinerea with EASEL and EnTAP:
- Evidence generation
- Gene prediction
- Secondary and primary feature filtering
- Evaluation
- Benchmarking against commonly used annotation tools
By the end of this session you will be able to: (1) Structurally annotate a eukaryotic genome assembly with protein and RNA extrinsic evidence using the EASEL nextflow pipeline, (2) Assess non-model structural genome annotations with comprehensive metrics that include providing functional annotation with EnTAP, (3) Address challenges with accuracy and efficiency with structural and functional genome annotation.
- Understanding of linux command line basics
