The term "genome annotation" includes identification of protein-coding and noncoding sequences (e.g., repeats, rDNA, and ncRNA) in genome assemblies and attaching functional information (metadata) to these annotated features. Here, we describe the basic outline of fungal nuclear and mitochondrial genome annotation as performed at the US Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute (JGI).
Keywords: Annotation; Functional annotation; Gene prediction; Genome; Pipeline.
