From hosts to symbionts: integrated gene prediction for prokaryotic genomes using EuGene
Résumé
With the advent of new generation sequencing, the annotation of new prokaryotic (symbiont) genomic sequences increasingly occurs in a data-rich context, including a variety of libraries of short reads of transcriptomic sequences. This creates new opportunities in annotation. In this talk, I will introduce the new prokaryotic variant of the integrative gene prediction software EuGene used for plan annotation. By leveraging RNA-Seq data, EuGene becomes capable of predicting new functional structures, including untranslated transcribed regions such as non protein coding RNA genes.
